  • I met a man in Texas
    And oh, he was so fine
    And I said to myself
    Self, I'm gonna make him mine
    He owned a lot of oil wells and his bank roll sure was healthy
    And I new if I married him I'd suddenly be wealthy
    Oh I'll oil wells love you
    I'll oil wells care
    I'll oil wells need you
    I want you oil wells dear

    Well I never had no money
    Not a penny to my name
    And I said I'd find a rich man
    And I'd love my way to fame
    So he took me in his arms
    And I cuddled up real near
    The money bug then bit me and I whispered in his ear

    Oh, I'll oil wells love you
    I'll oil wells care
    I'll oil wells need you
    I want you oil wells dear

    He looked in to my eyes and thought he saw a love light shine
    Little did he know that that light was dollar signs
    Now that we are married there ain't nothin' left to tell
    We'll live happily ever after 'cause all is well that ends well

    Oh, I'll oil wells love you
    And I'll oil wells care
    And I'll oil wells need you
    I want you oil wells dear

    I'll oil wells love you
    And I'll oil wells care
    And I'll oil wells need you
    I want you oil wells dear Writer/s: Bill Owens, Dolly Parton
