* I met here in a coffee shop in Hammond, Louisiana
She was waitin tables and I was getting dinner
She came over and she said “What can I get ya?”
With a smile that was big as can be

* I told her I was gonna have a plate of fried chicken.”
She took my little order then she headed to the kitchen
But then she gave a wink and told me “what else can I get ya?”
And she got the best of me

NOW SHE’S A STRAWBERRY BLONDE
WITH BIG GREEN EYES
AND A SMILE LIKE A BRIGHT MOON BEAM
SHE WAS A CREDIT TO HER GENDER
I BECAME A BIG SPENDER
LORDY SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME - SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME

*A few months later we was headin for the preacher
I became a singer and then she became a teacher
Bought a little cabin where the bayou’s gettin deeper
We started up a family

*Every day we do a little huggin and a kissin
Catfish jumpin then we do a little fishin
But when it comes to lovin she’s a woman on a mission
And she got the best of me

NOW SHE’S A STRAWBERRY BLONDE
WITH BIG GREEN EYES
AND A SMILE LIKE A BRIGHT MOON BEAM
SHE WAS A CREDIT TO HER GENDER
AND I KNOW THAT HEAVEN SENT HER
SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME - SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME



* She don’t worry bout the make-up or the botox
But she can show ya how to skip rocks
And in a world full of hard knocks
Strong as any woman can be

* She don’t need to be the center of attention
Big on the truth and a little on pretention
The cat’s meow and boy hidy did I mention
She got the best of me

NOW SHE’S A STRAWBERRY BLONDE
WITH BIG GREEN EYES
AND A SMILE LIKE A BRIGHT MOON BEAM
SHE WAS A CREDIT TO HER GENDER
LORD I’M GLAD THAT HEAVEN SENT HER
LORDY SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME - SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME

Solo

* We got a house full of kids and a hound and a kitty
I’m a getting older and she’s still a gettin pretty
She laughs in the face of life’s nitty-gritty
I’m as rich as anybody can be

* In the summer and fall and the spring and the winter
She’s my cajun honey and we live in Louisiana
But now she’s got me askin “baby what else can I get ya?”
Cause she got the best of me

NOW SHE’S A STRAWBERRY BLONDE WITH BIG GREEN EYES
AND A SMILE LIKE A BRIGHT MOON BEAM
SHE WAS A CREDIT TO HER GENDER
AND I’M GLAD THAT HEAVEN SENT HER
SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME

* SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME
YEAH SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME
SHE GOT THE BEST OF ME
