For funny folk songs check out Cheryl Wheeler. I don't know if you'll be able to connect any of her songs to the Hee Haw theme, but she is very funny. Good luck!

Pamela Brown....by Leo Kottke; good anti-marriage tune

Christine Lavin's "Sensative New Age Guy."

se if Hoyt Axton has any.One that comes to mind is Bony Fingers

I don't know who wrote it but the Smothers brothers used to sing a song that went I never will marry-I'll take me no wife-I think I'll be single for the rest of my life. Or something close to that.

my brother and i have been known to break into where oh where are you tonight, from hee haw at any given moment. definetely a funny one.

where oh where are you tonight
why did you leave me all alone
i searched the world over and
thought i found true love
you met another and
bllpht you were gone

Uncle Dave Macon wrote and performed a song called "Give me back my Five Dollars". He was talking to the preacher who married him. The character in the song goes on and on about the trials and tribulations of living with his new bride. I can't remember the words to the chorus but everytime it includes "Give me back my five dollars, etc. etc.". It is a funny story song.

You can listen to Uncle Dave sing that right here at this link, just copy and paste it to your browser:

How about this song?
Don't Get Married
Leon Rosselson

Don't get married girls, you'll sign away your life
You may start off as a woman but you'll end up as the wife
You could be a vestal virgin, take the veil and be a nun
But don't get married girls for marriage isn't fun

Oh, it's fine when you're romancing and he plays the lover's part
You're the roses in his garden, you're the flame that warms his heart
And his love will last forever and he'll promise you the moon
But just wait until you're wedded, then he'll sing a different tune

You're his tapioca pudding, you're the dumplings in his stew
But he'll soon begin to wonder what he ever saw in you
Still he takes without complaining all the dishes you provide
For you see he's got to have his bit of jam tart on the side

So don't get married girls, it's very badly paid
You may start off as the mistress but you'll end up as the maid
Be a daring deep sea diver, be a polished polyglot
But don't get married girls, for marriage is a plot

Have you seen him in the morning with a face that looks like death?
With dandruff on his pillow and tobacco on his breath
And he needs some reassurance with his cup of tea in bed
For he's worried by the mortgage and the bald patch on his head

And he's sure that your his mother, lays his head upon your breast
So you try to boost his ego, iron his shirt and warm his vest
Then you get him off to work, the mighty hunter is restored
And he leaves you there with nothing but the dreams you can't afford

So don't get married girls, men they're all the same
They just use you when they need you, you'd do better on the game
Be a call girl, be a stripper, be a hostess, be a whore
But don't get married girls, for marriage is a bore

When he comes home in the evening he can hardly spare a look
All he says is "What's for dinner?" After all you're just the cook
But when he takes you to a party, well, he eyes you with a frown
For you know you've got to look your best, you mustn't let him down

And he'll clutch you with that "Look-what-I've-got" twinkle in his eyes
Like he's entered for a raffle and he's won you for the prize
Ah, but when the party's over you'll be slogging through the sludge
Half the time a decoration and the other half a drudge

So don't get married, it'll drive you round the bend
It's the lane without a turning, it's the end without an end
Take a lover every Friday, take up tennis, be a nurse
But don't get married girls, for marriage is a curse

Then you get him off to work, the mighty hunter is restored
And he leaves you there with nothing but the dreams you can't afford

how about "I am my own grandpa", though I don't know who sings it, and there may be several covers of it.

Superhero Soup by the Nields

or any of Christine Lavin's hilarious songs!

I suggest John Prine's The Frying Pan on Diamonds in the Rough, a song about a wife who "run off with the Fuller Brush Man". It ends with the line "If I ever go out and get married again, I'll never leave my wife at home."

With all of these great suggestions, my curiosity is up about which ones you are considering. Would you mind posting which ones you like?

"Mama Don't Whup Little Buford" by Homer and Jethro comes to mind.
It is their parody on the bluegrass song
about little Benny.

In keeping with the Hee-Haw theme, why not do the "Pfft You Were Gone" tune?

Everybody will remember it, at least the chorus:

Where oh where are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and thought I found true love
You met another and Pfft you were gone.

You can show your creativity by making up your own verses to fit the occasion, then everybody can join in on the chorus.

Have fun!

one that comes to mind is an old stones song, "Dear Doctor" or Yes I guess they ought to name a drink after you by John prine

I would have to recommend Steve Goodman's "You Never Even Call Me By My Name (including the all inclusive country tinged last verse), Jim Infantino's "I Used To Love Her But She's Dead" or Little Jimmy Dicken's "I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dogfight".

Christine Lavin's "Good Thing He Can't Read My Mind" may not be completely appropriate but get the whole being with another person thing down perfectly.

On BB King's Indianola Missisippi Seed album he sings "nobody loves me but my momma, and see could be jivin too!!"

How 'bout "Four Nights Drunk" (various artists), "The Devil's Curst Wife" (ibid), "Very Unfortunate Man"...?
This is sixties stuff, so some of the audience may not have heard it. Also Billy Ed
Wheeler's "Wildcat's Kitten".

Sorry... I left out one of my favorites... "Goin' Back", as sung by Glen Yarboro with the Limelighters....

How about the "Buffalo Boy"

Oh, when are we gonna get married, get married,
Oh, when are we gonna get married, my dear old Buffalo Boy

I guess we'll marry in a week dear, a week dear,
I guess we'll marry in a week dear, that is if the weather be good.

HeeHaw, huh? Why not I Kissed The Bus by the Geezinslaws. It's on their Eclectic Horseman CD.
