Gene Watson - I Want My Rib Back Lyrics
Now the Bible tells the story 'bout Adam's rib
How the Lord made a woman for companionship
The first thing she did was take a bite of that forbidden fruit
(Baby it was so good)
At least that's how it is with that woman of mine
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
Now this is wrong and, baby that ain't right
I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can
This has gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave
I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
There's been a hole in my wallet, a pain in my side
Ever since I made that girl my blushing bride
Her daddy calls her angel and her momma calls her three times a night
Her cousin's on my sofa, her sister's got my car
Her brothers drink my liquor like my house was a bar
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
Now this is wrong and, baby that ain't right
I'm working tryin' to please that woman day and night
She's never satisfied although I try to do the best that I can
This has gotta change or honey, I'm gonna leave
I won't let evolution make a monkey out of me
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
Oh Lord, I think I want my rib back
Oh Lord, I know I want my rib back

I am a 71 year old LADY, and I have loved this for as long as I can remember, sense of humor counts for something!!!
@carol vine Awesome!! I have always believed laughing will make us live longer!!
Have to take a few minutes and tell my FAVORITE GUY HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTDAY, JACKIE"KEITH"WHITLEY.This is your day, and hopefully your year to be inducted into the CMHOF. Love You.
Please sign the petition to help get Keith inducted into the CMHOF. It is for this year. Just go to FACEBOOK, search Keith Whitley-petition, the link will take you where you need to go to sign it.Thank You All.
One of my favorite Keith Whitley songs......almost everything that man recorded is a favorite of mine. If he only knew how truly great he was and believed it in his heart, I wonder if he would still be with us today? Such a tragic loss to this world.
- RIP Keith -
I have talked to some of Keith's family, and yes, he did have an over the top sense of humor at times,never hurtful, but really funny. Love knowing this about him.
RIP: Joe Mitchell 05/03/1969-10/25/2008
The first thing I’d do if I ever see you again is say: “YOU WON’T GET IT BACK NOW ASSHOLE” and you’d bust out laughing 😂
LOVE,
Your MEAN MONKEY 😂😂😂
i love keith whitley....this song sucks ass.
Kenny Chesney is the only one that actually recorded and released this gem. The Whitley version is a demo that was never released til after he was dead.
😍💙🎶
What the heck 9 thumb downers, I guess it's true YOU CAN"T FIX STUPID.
Great Sound.
I love this
Should be in the Country Hall Of Fame ,Long time coming for this beautiful man!!!
carol vine Keith is the hall of fame.
Agreed,I have said that for a long time,he truly is the best,makes me angry that he has not been inducted after all this time and all the influence he has had on the genre!!!! Disgraceful!!!
@Shane Raleigh No, he's not.
@KniteFlyer I'm not saying "he is in" I'm saying "He is the hall of Fame"
Thanks so much for this! Loved him!!
Keith a this best.
Total addiction to Keith,he can sing whatever he wanted too, I think he must have had a really good sense of humor!!!!
I can see why he would want his rib back, but some of the lyrics are kinda humorous. "I won't let Evolution make monkey out of him". I like it a lot. A little something to send the blues on the run.
Anyone know what happened to the video of him singing this song?
Like the live version??
I think it had something to do with copy write infringement.
I wish I could give one of my own ribs so I could have a woman of my own. Hopefully one who would never even give the idea of wanting my rib back!
he never made a video for this song only live versions
two justin beiber fans up in here. guess they can't stand someone with resl vocals!
it,s too bad,,will maybe not ,,,,,hell dilly dilly ,to Keith
HIlarious that anyone who disagrees with YOUR music taste is automatically a fan of Bieber, whose songs are even worse than this
I'm not sure, but this might become my favorite song - love the words (in spite of the fact that I have daughters) But then this song only applies to relationships of the other kind.
I love my wife, OK? BUT, I know some other women who would make me ask God for my rib back.
