Til Death Do Us Part

Well I love her in the morning
When she wakes up with the sun
She’s pleasant as the present day begins
But I’ll hate her come tonight
When her spirit gets so restless
And she galavants and gets to drinking gin

At six o’clock she’s holding
To the promise she had made
And I get foolish thinking she’ll be fine
At 9:30 I come back to find
My baby with the bloodshot eyes
She’s three shots in and on her second line

She’s my cocaine baby
She’s my drinking dime
Made those vows and Lord she knows that
For drunk or for sober, til this feeble life is over
She’ll be mine

We met down at a bon fire
Three miles east of Jellico
She looked just like an Angel ‘neath the moon
Well my heart was set on fire
As I stood right there beside her
But my head was saying I had jumped too soon

We wed that next December
Didn’t know what I had done
Said those vows and kissed my new found bride
Come to find out she was more in love
With Seagram’s and the Pixie Dust
But I couldn’t break those vows if I tried

She’s my cocaine baby
She’s my drinking dime
Made those vows and Lord she knows that
For drunk or for sober, til this feeble life is over
She’ll be mine

Well now brother, let me tell you
Before you get to making plans
Before you buy that precious ring of gold
Understand her word must carry
Much more weight when you are married
And that she becomes a member of your fold

She’s my cocaine baby
She’s my drinking dime
Made those vows and Lord she knows that
For drunk or for sober, til this feeble life is over
She’ll be mine
