Eve Cost Adam Just One Bone 1921

Ev'rybody knows the story
How Adam gave his rib for Eve.
Ev'rybody thinks it's awful
the way she caused poor "Ad" to grieve.
But I've thought the matter over
and here's the reason why,
I've come to this conclusion
Adam was a lucky guy...

Eve cost Adam just one bone
but he couldn't get away with that today,
He never had no sealskin coats to buy
and there were no millinery bills to pay,
She caused him trouble,
and he got the weary blues,
She liked to raise a little Cain
that is a fact,
But she only cost him
Just one bone,
and you can't expect
too doggone much for that...

Eve cost Adam just one bone
and you must admit he got his money's worth,
But even if he paid more than he should,
just remember lucky Adam owned the earth.
She caused him trouble,
and he got the weary blues,
She was a bit too fond of apples
that's a fact,
But she only cost him
Just one bone,
and you can't expect
too doggone much for that...

Eve has several thousand dresses
all growing on a tree they say,
And some women must imagine
that they still grow that way today,
look at all the big fur jackets
and sealskin coats they wear
the kind of skin that Eve wore
Must have been a little bare...

Eve cost Adam just one bone
but he couldn't get away with that today,
He never had no sealskin coats to buy
and there were no millinery bills to pay,
She caused him trouble,
and he got the weary blues,
She liked to raise a little Cain
that is a fact,
But she only cost him
Just one bone,
and you can't expect
too doggone much for that...

that's a fact,
But she only cost him
Just one bone,
and you can't expect
too doggone much for that...
