The Cold Hard Facts Of Life, 1967
Written by Bill Anderson
A first-person story song, narrated by a clueless cuckold. He comes home early, decides to surprise the wife without calling first, and, well, we can all see the rest coming. What you don't see coming, from the soft, sad vocal delivery, is the bloody ending, one you expect in a Johnny Cash song. The album cover is a classic of possibly unintentional hilarity.
