I met a half a stranger one day, boys
one day boys
I tried to sway
her to be my wife, be my wife
She cut my pleeasure in two
Same as she had
a pocket knife
a pocket knife
I'm gon’tell you boys and girls
Tell you
what you mustn't do
you mustn't do
O, o Lord, o Lord
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Whoa, boys, what you mustn’t do
When it comes to marrying
You better speak once
and think twice
and think twice
The little girl I married
She 'bout the drive my life away
my life away
I made a mistake in life
And I never --oh
do that again
Mmmmmmmmm mm mmMM Mmmmmmmm mmMMmmmmmmmmmmm
I made a mistake in life
I'll never do that again
