On Marrying a Woman with an Uncontrollable Temper

[Verse 1]
When I was young I had a good job
Five children of my own
My wife drove a brand-new Chrysler
And we had a two-story home

[Chorus]
Singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Verse 2]
Well, when I was old I lost that job
My children all ran away
My wife's Chrysler's broken down
She left me anyway

[Chorus]
Singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Bridge 1]
Well when I marry I want to marry an angry girl
Who's father wants to kill me
And her mother lives on wine

[Chorus]
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Verse 3]
Well, I'm gonna fix up my old car
And head out for the west
You don't go through Thief River Falls
If you're on your way to someplace else

[Chorus]
Singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Verse 4]
Well, I'll build me a little house out there
Out of snowmobile boxes and tape
And I'll burn 'er down to keep me warm
Or sleep on top if the sun's out late

[Chorus]
Singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
He cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
God singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Bridge 2]
Well, when I marry I want my wife to be eight feet tall
So I can climb on her shoulders
And clean the gutters in the fall

[Chorus]
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Verse 5]
I lived downtown had an old bud
He used to visit my family
Bring us all little souvenirs
From his travels out to see

[Chorus]
And oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Bridge 3]
When I marry my children will be grown
And my wife will live in New York
With a husband of her own, yes

[Chorus]
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Hey, oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Verse 6]
Well, I've rambled on around this land
And a little bit in town
With baitfish in the pocket
Of my old hand-me-down

[Chorus]
Singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Ciried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Verse 7]
I don't know notin' 'bout the world
'Cept what's in my head
If I can ramble in one place
I'll ramble in the other instead

[Chorus]
Singing oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Cried oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord

[Bridge 4]
When I marry I'm gonna miss my wife and son
I won't be home much
And when I am home they'll be gone

[Chorus]
Hey oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Crying oh my Lord, oh my Lord
Yeah oh my Lord, oh my Lord
