Tell Maude I Slipped lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Hurt myself real bad oh almost tore me all apart
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Just a few cuts and bruises mostly
It nearly broke my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
She made it know that she would break my will
And I'll admit she gave me quite a spill

[Chorus]
Tell Maude I slipped and I fell
Just the way she said I would
But tell her she can’t hold me down

[Verse 2]
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Accidents sure can happen
And mine nearly got me down
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
But I had enough strength left inside me
To make it out of town

[Pre-Chorus]
She thought the pain she caused would always last
I got her bad but I recovered fast
[Chorus]
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Just the way she said I would
But tell her she can't hold me down
Just tell her she can't hold me down
