A Wedding in Cherokee County |
There she is sitting there |
Out behind the smoke-house in her rocking chair |
She don’t do nothin' |
She don’t say nothin' |
She don’t feel nothin' |
She don’t know nothin' |
Maybe she’s crazy, I don’t know |
But maybe that’s why I love her so Her papa was a midget |
Her mama was a whore |
Her grandad was a newsboy 'til he was eighty-four |
Man don’t you think I know she hates me Man don’t you think I know that she’s no good |
If she knew how she’d be unfaithful to me |
I think she’d kill me if she could |
Maybe she’s crazy I don’t know |
But maybe that’s why I love her so |
I’m not afraid of the greywolf |
Who stalks through our forest at dawn |
As long as I have her beside me I have the strength to carry on Today we will be married |
And all the freaks that she knows will be there |
And all the people from the village will be there |
To congratulate us I will carry her across the threshold |
I will make dim the light |
I will attempt to spend my love within her |
But though I try with all my might |
She will laugh at my mighty sword |
She will laugh at my mighty sword |
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword? |
Lord, hep me if you will |
Maybe we’re both crazy, I don’t know |
Maybe that’s why I love her so |
