[MoreLyrics]
Well I asked her to marry, And to be my sweet wife
I told her we'd be so happy, For the rest of our life
I begged and I pleaded, Like a natural man
And then, oh lord, she gave me her hand.
Well we worked very hard, Both me and my wife
Working hand-in-hand, To have a good life
We had corn in the field, And wheat in the bin
And then, whoops oh lord, I was the father of twins.
Well our children they numbered, Just about four
And they all had a sweetheart, A'knocking on the door
They all got married, And they wouldn't hesitate
I was, whoops oh lord, The grandfather of eight Chorus
Well now that I'm old, And I'm ready to go
I get to thinking what happened, A long time ago
Had a lot of kids, A lot of trouble and pain
But then, whoops oh lordy, Well I'd do it all again
