Woman Ought to Know Her Place (Reprise) Lyrics > Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

ADAM
Stayin' here I'm keepin' out
I won't have any woman takin' over.

GIDEON
Milly needs you please come home.

ADAM
She's gonna have to learn
I ain't no Molly Coodle
She can shove around.

GIDEON
She only wanted to reason with you.

ADAM
No more tellin' me what I can do or think

GIDEON
Try to see it her way.

ADAM
When to smoke and when to cuss and what to drink.

ADAM GIDEON
Ever since our weddin' Don't be stubborn and unbending
She' tried to hold the reins.
No woman's puttin' me in chains. She's depending on you.
A woman ought to know her place Lovers should be sharin'
And give her husband all she can. Stand together carin'
A woman ought to know her place
Is behind her man. Not behind him

GIDEON
But beside him.

ADAM
Am I stubborn and unbending?
Is she really depending on me?
Can it be?
Is my brother right?
