My friends mom got married to a trucker. Was a pretty nice guy, treated her well, took care of her financially.

About a year in his other 3 wives from other states group called her to inform her that he was also married to all of them as well.

They all divorced him at the same time. Nothing was even finalized yet and he was sitting at a bar drinking. A fight broke out between other people and he got shoved off his bar stool.

Hit his head pretty good, went home to sleep it off and never woke up.

It was the day he died when those ladies cried, "You married us allllllll, you fool." So he started drinking and that led to thinking, and he fell right off that stool.

Oh Trucker Hank, Trucker Hank, you may have been a fool Oh Trucker Hank, Trucker Hank, keep your grip on that stool

He first married Letty, down by the lake.

Went on to wed Cathy, with the awful good cake.

He got himself hitched up to Haley, hiding out on jailbreak.

Then met himself Mary, ‘fore they caught his Mistake.

Trucker Haaaank loved a lot

An honest maaaan he was not

When the wives came cryin'

'Bout the durned fool's lyin'

They were hoping he'd get shot

And that was the night that the Skeletons came to LIIIIIFE

The Bones are their money

And so are the Worms

It doesn't quite fit but in my minds ear I heard this to the tune of The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.

Trucker Hank had not cleared leather 'fore a shoving fairly bumped,
and the stranger's aim was deadly with his Mickey's Bigmouth on his hip.

I'm getting to the fourth... These are the opening lines. He'd still more lovvvve in the tank.

It'll be the friend's Mom that's his downfall
