This reminds me of a Ray Stevens song where he steals the girl of a guy with a peg leg. For good measure, he takes the wooden leg to prevent Peg Leg from chasing him, but.....

"Oh I'm a three legged man with a two legged woman, being chased by a one legged fool. Ohhhhhh, he's hoppin' and he's cloppin', but he shows no sign of stoppin'. I tell you boys this life is hard and cruel."

But, it turns out that he made a mistake at the end. Peg Leg finally shouts "I know ya meant to take the one that was wooden, but in the dark, by mistake, you took my good 'un." And finally he tells him he can keep the blamed ol' woman, just give him back the leg!
