He's A Go-getter Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

He's a go-getter go-getter 

When his wife gets off from work well he'll go get her 

Now I've got a neighbor that lives down the road away 

His wife holds down a steady job he don't turn his hand all day 

I know that most of you will know the kind I'm talkin' about 

The kind that rather than have to work he'd rather do without 

But he's a go-getter... 

[ fiddle ] 

There's a group of men in the courthouse yard anytime that you go by 

A playin' checkers and tradin' knives and makin' jokes about their wives 

Well they'll wait all week for payday and hope that money's plenty 

But the wife that worked those long hard hours never gets a penny 

But he's a go-getter... 

When his wife gets off from work well he'll go get her
