Well I married me a wife,
Gave me trouble all my life.
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow.

Well she came down the [bad word] back her long held hair.
And her cheeks were as red as a rose.

As a rose.
And her cheeks were as red as a rose.

Well I did all I could do.
Try an get along with you.
And I'm not gona be treated this way.

This a way, oh lord.
I'm not gona be treated this way.

Well she came into the room.
Where she met her faitle doom.
And I'm not gona be treated this way.

This a way. Oh Lord.
And I'm not gona be treated this way.

Well I married me a wife,
Gave me trouble all my life.
Ran me out into the cold rain and snow.
