[Intro]
A7  A7  

[Verse 1]
           A7
You're the reason I'm a-ridin' around on recapped tires.
            A7 
 And you're the reason I'm hangin' our clothes outside on wires.

[Chorus]
           D
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'.
        E
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin',
      E7                A7
but I love you just the same.

 
[Verse 2]
           A7
You're the reason I've changed to beer from soda pop.
               A7
And you're the reason I never get to go to the beauty shop.

 
[Chorus]
           D
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'.
        E
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin',
      E7                A7
but I love you just the same.

[Bridge]
  D                             A 
I guess that we won't ever have everything we need,
       B7                             E               E7 
‘cause when we get "ahead", it's got another mouth to feed.

[Verse 3]
               A7
And that's the reason that my good looks and my figure is gone.
               A7
And that's the reason that I ain't got no hair to comb.
 
[Chorus]
           D
You're the reason our kids are ugly, little darlin'.
        E
Ah, but looks ain't ev'rythin', and money ain't ev'rythin',
      E7                A7
but I love you just the same.
 
[Outro Conversation]
A7
Conway, why in the devil don't you go and shave 
A7
And put on a clean pair of pants?
A7
But Loretta, look at yourself. Now I wish you'd take them curlers out
A7
Of your hair and go put on a little makeup and get out of tha
A7
Housecoat before supper.
A7
Ha, well, let me tell you something, Conway, considerin' everything
A7
That I went through today, I look like a movie star.
A7
Eh-he-yeah, Ruth Buzzie.
A7
Thankyee.
A7
Besides that, all our kids took after your part of the family, anyway.
A7
Oh they did, huh? What about’s the ones that's bald?
A7
Ha ha ha, well, I guess you could say they take after me…..
