[Verse 1]
I have to mow the lawn
And I have to wash the car
And I'd just like to know
Just who you think you are
I'm getting' tired of wagging
That old heavy garbage can
Your woman's gettin' tired
Of being your ole handy man

[Verse 2]
I have to run your water
And I have to wash your back
And I have to scrub the tub
After you have had your bath

[Verse 3]
You're as helpless as a baby
But I love you, understand
I'm just getting' tired
Of being your ole handy man

[Chorus]
Your woman's getting tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you've got ten fingers
But where's your helping' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

[Verse 4]
I do everything for you
You never help yourself
An' I think I'd die from shock
If you raised a hand to help
Well, I'm not gonna keep it up
That's what you got planned
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

[Chorus]
Your woman's getting tired of being your ole handy man
Now I know you've got ten fingers
But where's your helping' hand
I've just made a decision
I've stood all I'm gonna stand
Your woman's gettin' tired of being your ole handy man

Dolly Parton

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
