Subject: Lyr Add: I MARRIED ME A WIFE
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.
