On Marrying a Woman with an Uncontrollable Temper

When I was young, I had a good job
I found children of my own
My wife drove round in a Chrysler
We had a two-seater of our own

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

Well, when I was older I lost my job
My children all ran away
My wife's Chrysler's broken down
She left me anyway

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

Well, when I'm married I'm gonna marry an angry girl
Whose father wants to kill me
And her mother is on my whip

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

Well, I'm gonna fix up my old car
And head out to the west
Don't go through the deep river falls
'Cause the odd way to some place else

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

I'm gonna build me a little house
Out there the snowmobile boxes will take
And a burner that'll keep me warm
Sleep on top when sun's out late

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

When I'm married I'm gonna wife me eight feet tall
So I can climb on her shoulders
Between the gutters in the fall

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

I'll live downtown, rent an old boat
Use it with my family
Bring us home little souvenirs
From travels out to sea

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

Well, when I'm married my children will be grown
And my wife'll live in New York
With a husband of her own

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

Well, I'll ram all around this land
A little bit in town
With the bait fish in a bucket
To my old native town

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

I don't know nothin' about the world
Except what's in my head
I can't ramble in one place
Ramble in the other instead

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord

Well, when I'm married I'm gonna miss my wife and son
I won't be home much and when I'm home, they'll be gone

Singing oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
Oh my lord, oh my lord
