Henry's Songbook

She hates my mama, she hates my daddy too
She loves to tell me she hates the things I do
She lies beside me every night
She's no lady, she's my wife

The preacher asked her and she said, I do
The preacher asked me, she said, Yes, he does too
The preacher said, I pronounce you ninety-nine to life
She's no lady, she's your wife

I can't remember how I met her, it seems
She's always just been hanging round on my right arm
I can't remember how I ever thought
I couldn't live without that woman's charms

Even though she wears those high-heeled shoes
Even though she wears those French perfumes
All I know is I'm the one who pays her price
She's no lady, she's my wife

She hates my mama, she hates my daddy too
She loves to tell me she hates the things I do
She lies beside me almost every night
She's no lady, she's my wife

(as sung by Iain MacKintosh)
