My Two Timin' Woman
Hank Snow & His Rainbow Ranch Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You talk about a woman treatin' a good man rude
She left me talkin' to myself just a gazin' at that mean old wall.
She had another daddy waitin' down at the end of the hall.
She changes with the weather like the leaves I recall,
She blossoms in the spring but then she's gone in the fall,
A two timin' woman with a heart of solid stone.
She said she'd never leave me but she got that urge to roam,
She drifts around the country like a stream-boat on the foam,
Never changes course just travels along that same old way.
I hope she goes a-drift and rolls along back home some day.
Now, if I ever find her, gonna chain her to the floor,
Then tell her: Now sit there woman 'cause you ain't leavin' no more,
I'm gonna tame you woman till you're eatin' from my hand.
It ain't that I don't love you, honey it's just to make you understand.
Hank Snow's song "My Two-Timin' Woman" is about a man who wakes up in a bad mood because of his unfaithful, lying woman. The singer describes his significant other as having a heart of stone, telling him that she loves him while having a wandering eye for another man down the hall. The woman is compared to the changing weather and the fickleness of fall leaves. The singer is frustrated with her constant inconsistency and wishes he could keep her from leaving. He wants to tame her and make her understand that he loves her but she needs to stop her wandering ways.
The song is a classic country ballad that depicts the struggles of a man in love with a woman who is unfaithful. The lyrics are simple yet poignant, reflecting the pain of betrayal and the desire for love and commitment. The singer's voice is somber and his words carry a tone of resignation, as if he has accepted his fate and must bear the burdens of his two-timing woman.
