Barlow Chapin Lyrics

Barlow Chapin was a big man Barlow Chapin was a real man
When he'd play ball all the girls would scream
If the boys complained he'd whip the whole team Barlow Chapin was a big man

Barlow Chapin was a big man not an ounce of fat was on his bones
Just hard muscles made him strong
His waist was only about thirty inches around
But he stood 6-4 and weighed about 220 pounds Barlow Chapin was a big man
Born and raised in the Ozark Hills in the land of the
mountains and corn liquor stills
He started datin' a girl when he was fifteen
Her name was Debbie the high school queen
Debbie was the prettiest girl in schoolPorter Wagoner - Barlow Chapin - http://motolyrics.com/porter-wagoner/barlow-chapin-lyrics.html
But for another boy to look at her would've had to be a fool
Cause she was Barlow's girl that was understood
For he'd whip the whole class and I'll name who he would
Barlow Chapin was a big man...

Well just before graduation day Debbie and Barlow announced
their wedding day
Well they got married bout a year ago and I seen Barlow the other day
And I didn't hardly know him why he wouldn't have weighed a hundred pounds
The moral of the story is that love is a wonderful thing
But too much of it will sure get you down
Why got Barlow down to less than a hundred pounds
And Barlow Chapin was a big man...
