Matrimony

Well, I'm savin' this dress for my wedding day
Momma wouldn't have it any other way
She says, when she married, her waist was twenty three
I guess, I'll never wear it anywayI don't believe I care to marry
Though I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me, matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to dieI'm savin' all my money for my wedding day
You know, my momma wouldn't have it any other way
She says, when she married, she didn't' have a dime
I guess, I'll spend that money some other wayBecause I don't believe I care to marry
Although I cannot say exactly why
It somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to dieWell, I'm savin' my best thing for my wedding day
Because my poppa wouldn't have it any other way
He says, if I lose it early, I'll have thrown my life away
But I swear, I'll use my cherry my own wayI don't believe I care to marry
Though I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me, matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die
