Barlow Chapin Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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 school 

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...
