"Don't ya worry, get dressed," cried my mother
A D Am
As she plied me with bourbon so sour
A
Pull your socks up, put your suit on

Comb your long hair down,
A Em A
For you will be wed in the hour

And my heart it jumped into my mouth
A Em A
It read, "Darlin', I'm sorry to hurt you.

But I have no courage to speak to your face.
A D G
But I'm down in Virginia with your cousin Lou

There be no wedding today."

Tears of relief
A Em A
And my pulse is now under control
