Lyrics
This county that I live in's got somethin' they all believe in
settle down an' start a life, y'gotta find yourself a wife
So I took their advice, found a gal that's really nice
Little did I know how our love story would go
A Marion County wife gave me the marryin' county blues
So I started off my search and wound up in a church
Her father said I oughter marry this farmer's daughter
With a gun in my back, when it was done, she left me flat
Another Marion County wife gave me the marryin' county blues
Then came wife number two, with beautiful eyes of blue
The sound of her voice was sweet, she nearly knocked me off my feet
But, I knew it was the end, when I caught her with my best friend
Another Marion County wife, gave me the marryin' county blues
Then came wife number three, as pretty as she could be
She had a body that wouldn't quit. Couldn't keep me, or my mind, off of it
But, after we said the vows, she got as big as a herd of cows
Another Marion County wife gave me the marryin' county blues
After wife number four, I told myself, "No more!"
But there's been twenty-seven since. Guess I lost my common sense
But see me after the show, 'cause you might want to let me know
that you think you are the wife to end the marryin' county blues
