Porter Wagoner Lyrics

Barlow Chapin Lyrics
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...
