I'm Going for a Walk



Ed Silberman



Oh, friends I have a sad story

And I'll tell it so clear and so plain

I married a woman named Molly

But I bring her a world full of pain



She's the rose of my heart and my treasure

And that's why I just don't understand

Why when we disagree I get bothered

And I give her the back of my hand



CHO: So I'm getting my coat and I'm going for a walk

Just to get the wife out of my danger

To pick through my mind in hopes somewhere to find

Why I've become such a stranger



Oh, it isn't because I don't love her

Sometimes we're so tender and soft

But then I'll fly off in a temper

With a rage I can't seem to turn off



When I was a kid, the folks quarreled

And sometimes my dad used his hand

And I stood and I stared in amazement

"I'll never be that kind of man"



CHO



Now some say I should go a doctor

And some say I should go see the priest

And some say I should find a new living

For my job turns me into a beast



And at night when I look on my children

I know I'm not raising them right

For I know children bicker and quarrel

But I see Jimmy's learning to fight
