Wedding Bell Blues Lyrics

Oh I've just learned a lesson that I won't forget
This weddin' knot is like a rope around my neck
I'm sorry that I ever met a girl untrue
I'm walkin' and a-talkin' with my weddin' bell blues.
The fella's tried to warn me she was dynamite
I'm realisin' now that my mates were right
I should have steadied up when the lights showed red
But like a drunken driver I went surgin' ahead.

Now I've just learned a lesson that I won't forget
This weddin' knot is like a rope around my neck
I'm sorry that I ever met a girl untrue
I'm walkin' and a-talkin' with my weddin' bell blues

[Instrumental]

Oh I married her on Thursday when I had my pay
We busted up and parted on the very next day,
She looked at me so sweetly from beneath her furs
I signed away my house and my car to her.

But now she's far away and with the boys again
I'm movin' 'round the town and wonderin' why and when
I'm laughin' to myself, oh what a shock she'll get
When she knows my house and car are both deep in debt.
Then she will learn a lesson that she won't forget
This weddin' knot will be a rope around her neck,
And she'll be sorry that she ever met me, too
She'll be walkin' and a-talkin' with mah weddin' bell blues.
