[intro]
on the other hand, what’s called a controversial song in many parts of the country is, is simply a song that’s just having too much fun. uh, did you ever hear this one?

[verse 1]
oh, my mother chose my husband and a lawyer’s son was he
and on our wedding night he came to bed with me
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be

[verse 2]
and on our wedding night he came to bed with me
he bit me on the shoulder and nearly broke my knee
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be

[verse 3]
he bit me on the shoulder and nearly broke my knee
i called my waiting woman, “come quickly, marjorie”
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be

[verse 4]
i called my waiting woman, “come quickly, marjorie”
go tell mama i’m dying, bid her come hastily
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be

[verse 5]
mama came to my bedside before i could count three
“cheer up, my girl, what ails you will never k!ll” said she
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be
[verse 6]
“oh, if i had died of that my child, god knows where you would be
so if you die my daughter, i’ll grave you splendidly”
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be

[verse 7]
“so if you die my daughter, i’ll grave you splendidly
and write upon your tombstone for all the world to see”
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be

[verse 8]
“i’ll write upon your tombstone for all the world to see
here lies the only girl who died of this malady”
uh, uh, uh, that’s not the way to, uh, uh, uh, that can’t be
