Big Mable Murphy Lyrics - Diana Ross

Way back in '29...1929 

Somewhere in Coffeeville. 

Was a Honkytonk, named Big Mable Murphy 

She had a sweetheart, Mean Little Melvin 

And hell would fly between them every Saturday night 

Why? Because Little Melvin 

He got wild on bathtub gin 

Well it made him feel like he was almost twice his size 

So he'd try to take over and sass big Mable 

But her great big fist would black little Melvin's eyes. 

Ya see, Big Mable Murphy 

She loved her Little Melvin 

But he never did learn to do just what she said 

Cause poor Little Melvin, work up early every morning 

With two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head.

Prime Day concert by Amazon Music will be headlined by Taylor Swift 

Late one rainy night 

Scarface, muscle and all might, 

He came in and started shoving everybody around. 

Well, Big Mable Murphy 

She was way back in the kitchen 

So just for fun ol' Scarface, shot Little Melvin down 

Photos 

Early next morning 

Down by the river 

They say old Scarface was found real short of breath 

They say he died, uh oh, the man died 

From a good ol' whipping 

He had two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head 

Big Mable 

Big Mable Murphy 

She gave him two black eyes and knuckle bumps on his head.
