(Tell Maude I slipped and fell)

Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Hurt myself bad all over
Almost tore me all apart
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Just a few cuts and bruises mostly
It nearly broke my heart

She made it known that she would break my will
And I'll admit she gave me quite a spill
Tell Maude I slipped and fell
Just the way she said I would
But tell her she can't hold me down

(Tell Maude I slipped and fell)
(Tell Maude I slipped and fell)

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

She thought the pain she caused would always last
I got her bad but I recovered fast
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
