Ladies,
or I guess I should say, girls...

:14:11
the boss lady just shoved
a piece of paper at me...

:14:15
says I ain't got
but 3 more minutes.

:14:17
Thas what I've got
against working...

:14:20
is tangled up
with the word "hurry".

:14:22
Back in my town,
we had a cousin named Harry...

:14:26
they all called him Hurry 'cause
he was always running someplace.

:14:30
Till one day he fell down a flight
of steps and broke his fool neck.

:14:35
We put a sign on his grave
that said...

:14:38
"He was in such a hurry,
he couldn't wait to get here."

:14:44
Shucks, I was just going to add on
a verse about being a free woman.

:14:48
I bet a lot of you dream of that...
:14:51
with all the breakfast dishes
piling up in the sink...

:14:53
and cranky husbands
to get off to work.

:14:57
Ain't it a shame how they
get on about everything...

:14:59
because they ain't got the gumption
to take it out on their boss?

:15:03
Well, good-bye, dear,
I'm late for work.

:15:05
I hate to talk against
my own kind but I never saw...

:15:09
a man who could appreciate
how hard you women have to work.

:15:13
They think running water over a dish
is all there is to it.

:15:16
They never see you clean the grease
out of the sink...

:15:19
or wiping out of the oven
the gravy...

:15:22
or the apple juice that sizzles over
the side of the dish onto your grill.

:15:25
How would he know that?
:15:28
Listen to this.
:15:30
"Dear Lonesome, though I never
set eyes on you..."

:15:34
Listen. "I know you must be
saintly looking.

:15:37
Only a saint could understand the
burdens of a housewife like you do."

:15:41
They all say the same. They love
his voice, his guitar, his ideas.

:15:46
They should know
some of them.

:15:47
You're not fooling me,
you're proud of him.

:15:50
There hasn't been mail like this
since you started the station.
