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.]
