"Too Many Irons In The Fire" (bluegrass)

Peggy lives in Harlan, and two others in Rosine,Joan lives four coun-ties a-way

If I had any sense, I'd be only courtin one

but there's a devil in me, that likes to play, now

(chorus)

I got too many irons in the fi-re

and there's only so much time in a week,

like a young man filled with de-sires

I ain't even hit my peak

**banjo**

Now Monday's the day for Peggy, and Wendsdays are reserved for Joan,I don't see the rest for a bit

Sometimes I often wonder, if I'll crash and burn

before my candle gets relit, coz...

(chorus)

I got too many irons in the fi-re

and there's only so much time in a week,

like a young man filled with de-sires

I ain't even hit my peak

*fiddle then mandolin or dobro****

I got my schedule mixed up, went to the wrong place,
didn't have time to change,

So here I am in Rosine middle of the week,
with only me I can blame

(chorus)

I got too many irons in the fi-re

and there's only so much time in a week,

like a young man filled with de-sires

I go head on at full speed

I got too many irons in the fi-re

and there's only so much time in a week,

like a young man filled with de-sires

these flames of love could burn what's left of me
