Well, there's a boy down Shelby Gap |
|
And I like sittin on his lap |
|
I'm his gal and he's my man |
|
We been makin weddin plans |
|
Brought him home to meet my ma |
|
She raised Cain and dropped her jaw |
|
Girl, you're crazy as a bat, you ain't gonna marry that |
|
Looka here mama, looka here daddy |
|
This is my true love, we're gonna get married |
|
Ain't a gonna hem-haw, ain't a gonna tarry |
|
This is my big chance, we're gonna get married |
|
Oh, mama, daddy, can't you see |
|
Holler's closin in on me |
|
Cousins pourin down like rain |
|
They're runnin out of given names |
|
It's so crowded I can't breathe |
|
You need one less mouth to feed |
|
Forty dozen here at home |
|
You won't miss me when I'm gone |
|
Looka here mama, looka here daddy |
|
This is my true love, we're gonna get married |
|
Ain't a gonna hem-haw, ain't a gonna tarry |
|
This is my big chance, we're gonna get married |
|
Oh, he's the prettiest in these hills |
|
I don't hitch him, some gal will |
|
You just messed up my big chance |
|
For married bliss and true romance |
|
Two things y'all don't realize |
|
Shelby boys is mighty shy |
|
And courtin life is extra hard |
|
If I can't keep em in the yard |
|
Oh, another one gone |
