Of some of the troubles that bothered my mind

G                               Am            D
The sweethearts they sat in the dark and they sparked
     G                              Am        D
They hugged and they kissed in that dusty old dark
     G                              C
They sighed and they cried and they hugged and they kissed
      G                      D           G
But instead of marriage they talked like this honey

They all said take her oh take her please do
    G                         C
She can't cook or sew and she won't scrub your floor
     G                     D            G
So I put on my coat and tiptoed out the door singing

I walked down the street to the grocery store

He said we're waiting to tie the knot

But I was so anxious I rushed her outside told them
