Lyrics It'll Aggregate Your Soul - The Carter Family

It'll Aggregate Your Soul

Come all of you people take warning from me
Don’t take no girl to Tennessee
For if you get married and don’t agree
It’ll aggravate your soul
We left Maces early in the night
Expect to get married before daylight
So many things happened to hinder our flight
It aggravated my soul
Arrived at The Bristol at 11 o’clock
The parson was there right on the spot
We found that the license had been forgot
It aggravated my soul
We went for the license in an automobile
Run so fast couldn’t see the wheel
No on can explain how bad I did feel
It aggravated my soul
We stayed all night at The Bristol Hotel
Just to make folks think we were swell
Next morning they put it in the Bristol Herald
It aggravated my soul
And when the new style books coming around
She begin’s to get ready to go to town
You know right then she’s milliner shop bound
It’ll aggravate your soul
She wants a new coat and a hobble skirt
And you can’t get in for the young gun’s and dirt
And when she gets out, oh how she will flirt
It’ll aggravate your soul
And when the person gather round your head
You’ll think of what your dear old mother said
With a pain in you back and heart and head
It’ll aggravate your soul
Now young men take warning from me
Don’t take no girl to Tennessee
For if you get married and don’t agree
It’ll aggravate your soul
