Wedding In Cherokee County

(album: The Pull Of Niagara Falls - 2021)

There she is sitting there
Out behind the smokehouse in her rocking chair
She don't say nothing, she don't do nothing
She don't feel nothing, she don't know nothing

Maybe she crazy, I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so

Her poppa was a midget, her mamma was a whore
Her granddad was a newsboy till he was eighty-four
What a slimy old bastard he was
Man don't ya know I know she hates me
Man don't ya know I know that she's no good
She'd probably be unfaithful to me
She'd probably kill me if she could

Maybe she crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so

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'll carry through the threshold
And I will make dim the light
I'll attempt to spend my love within her
I'll attempt with all my might

She'll laugh at my mighty sword
She'll laugh at my mighty sword
Why must she
Lord help me if you could

Maybe we both crazy, I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so
