"Wife's logic fails to explain strange bedfellow to drunkard"

I'm listening to HARRY E. SMITH'S landmark 1952 music collection, "ANTHOLOGY OF AMERICAN FOLK MUSIC" while completing some chores this morning.
The songs helped provide material for the folk revival of the 1950s and 60s.
The old blues, country and Cajun tunes help me pass the time while working.
Whenever I take a break, I read Smith's original liner notes. Smith famously provided brief synopses for many of the songs in his collection of 84 tunes. The music collector's descriptions read like odd newspaper headlines:
"MEDIEVAL WOMAN DEFEATS DEVIL DESPITE HUSBAND'S PRAYERS" (for "Old Lady and the Devil" by Bill and Belle Reed, 1928).
"MOTHER HOSPITABLE, BUT GIRLS FIND SHODDY OLDSTER'S ACTIONS PERVERSE" (for "Old Shoes and Leggins" by Uncle Eck Dunford, 1929).
"BOLLWEAVIL SURVIVES PHYSICAL ATTACK AFTER CLEVERLY ANSWERING FARMER'S QUESTIONS" (from "Mississippi Boweavil Blues" by Charley Patton recording as "The Masked Marvel," 1929).
"DISCOURAGING ACTS OF GOD AND MAN CONVINCE FARMER OF POSITIVE BENEFITS IN URBAN LIFE" (from "Got The Farm Land Blues" by the Carolina Tar Heels, 1932).
and my personal favorite:
"ZOOLOGIC MISCEGENY ACHIEVED IN MOUSE FROG NUPTUALS, RELATIVES APPROVE" (from the bizarre "King Kong Kitchie Kitchie Ki-Me-O" by Chubby Parker, 1928.
Deeper into the collection, Smith includes some pioneering gospel or recorded sermon numbers, and his song descriptions lengthen and seem to become almost frantic:
"JUDGEMENT MORNING, GOD, JESUS, COMING UNAWARES. CLOUD BEARS HORSES. GET MORNING GARMENTS, STAFF IN HAND. GAMBLER, LIAR, DRUNKARD, ADULTEROUS, HYPOCRITE, PRETEND US, WASTE TIME. JUDGE YOUNG AND OLD. BETTER GET READY FOR JUDGEMENT" (from "Judgement" by Sister Mary Nelson, 1927).
When I reach those descriptions in the liner notes, I know it's time to go back to cleaning the bathroom.
