One Suit

One suit, one suit was all I had
One suit, one suit was all I had
One suit, one suit was all I had
And it was nothing but an old gray, beat up plaid

I had the best looking gal in town
And she weighed about a hundred and eleven pounds
But I felt so shamed when I called on her
'Cause I was ragged as a great big [?]

One suit, one suit was all I had
One suit, hmm, one suit was all I had
One suit, one suit was all I had
And it was nothing but an old gray, beat up plaid

Now the cuffs are frayed, the pants are shiny
Got a rip in the seat that ain't exactly tiny
Pleats in the front, belt in the back
I got a drape like a shape of a flower sack

Oh, when my gal took me to her home
And her mama put the pots and the skillets on
But I ate one helping and that was all
'Cause if I gained a pound my suit would, ew, be too small

One suit, one suit was all I had
One suit, one suit was all I had
One suit, one suit was all I had
And it was nothing but an old gray, beat up plaid

I close my story with these few lines
As I stand here a-digging those men's wear signs
With my pockets empty as they can be
Well you're in bad shape, buddy, if you look like me
