Well I married me a wife
She give me trouble all my life
Threw me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, oh Lord,
Threw me out in that cold rain and snow.

Well I’ve done all I can do
Just to try and get along with you
I ain’t gonna be treated this-a-way
This-a-way, oh Lord,
I ain’t gonna be treated this-a-way Well I saw her comin’ down the stairs
Throwin’ back her long yellow hair
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, oh Lord,
And her cheeks were as red as a rose.

Well I married me a wife
She give me trouble all my life
Threw me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, oh Lord,
Threw me out in that cold rain and snow.
