Here's I Married Me A Wife sung by Bill Jackson in Arvin, California in 1941.


I MARRIED ME A WIFE

I married me a wife in the month of June.
    Risselty rasselty
    Hey John Dabbity
    Q-U-Ality
    Risk-ko-kality
    Risselty rasselty
    Now now now
Married me a wife in the month of June.
I carried her home by the light of the moon.
    That's risselty rasselty
    Now now now.

Married me a wife in the month of May.
I carried her home on a lead of hay.

Combed her hair Just once a year,
And called her comb her dearest dear.

Swept the floor just once a year,
And called her broom her dearest dear.

When she churned, she churned in a boot,
And for a dash she used her foot.

Butter come out all griddely gray.
It took legs and walked away.
