Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: I'll Be No Submissive Wife
An usual song for its time (published 1835), I should think. But even in this day and age, the mind boggles to think of someone singing this part "Think you on a wed-ding day, that I said as o-thers say,
Love and ho-nor ... no,no,not I." at her own wedding! The word "obey" is often dropped these days ...I even heard discussion re leaving it in or omitting at a relative's wedding circa 1970.
