Subject: Lyr Add: JUST MARRIED (Tommy Collins)
Aha! Now that I know the correct title of the song, I am able to fill in the gaps with information from Allmusic.com, and by listening to sound samples of Faron Young:
JUST MARRIED Tommy Collins
Well, if I seem a little daffy, It's because I'm so happy. Got a whole lot o' joy in my life. If I'm actin' kind o' silly, Let me tell ya somethin', will ye, Brother, I been doin' all right.
It may sound funny. I ain't got no money. I'm livin' in paradise. A man told us how We're a fam'ly now And we just got married last night.
I don't know how we'll make it but I know we will. It took all I had to pay the bill. We'll be doin' all right till the rent comes due. We'll live on love for a month or two.
There's pettin' an' a-lovin' An' lots o' turtle-dovin'. We stared I-doin' it right. She's a rinktum-duty An' a rooty-tooty An' we just got married last night.
Well, I talked to her daddy Then I said, "Are you ready?" And my baby didn't have to think twice. We were down by the river So we jumped in my flivver And we just got married last night.
[As recorded by Faron Young on "This is Faron Young," Capitol LP T-1096, 1958.]
