Throw me in a den full of great big lions   Or take me to the hangin' tree   But please don't let that woman get me      Tie me up on the railroad track   Or drown me in the deepest sea   But please don't let that woman get me      Oh, the woman I believed in turned up to be deceivin'   She almost beaten my poor old heart to death   Yes, she left my heart forsaken and every rule she's breakin'   Every word she said was spoke with a lyin' breath      So throw me in a den full of great big lions   If I hear that woman a callin' and I feel my heart a fallin'   I think I'll make me a bomb and light the fuse   If I ever see her a comin' I'm a gonna take off a runnin'      If I'll slow down it'll be just to cool my shoes   Oh, throw me in a den full of great big lions   Oh yeah, I said, please don't let that woman get me
