Seven Years With The Wrong Wo- man

 Is more than a man can stand

Seven Years With The Wrong Woman

 Will wreck most any good man

 Seven Years With The wrong Wo- man

 It's the same in the moun- tain or dale

 She'll stay awake all night - tryin' to start a fight

 Then have you thrown into jail.

Seven Years With The Wrong Woman

Is punishment that is bad

Seven Years With The Wrong Woman

Will drive most any man mad

When you've married the wrong woman

There is only one thing you can do

Just dig you a hole - then crawl in that hole

and pull the hole in after you.

Seven Years With The Wrong Woman

Put me in this dirty jail

And she got all my money

And laughs 'cause I can't get bail

In the final day of judgement

When Gabriel starts in to blow

If I see her face - in that heavenly place

I'll ask to be sent down below.

Listen boys if you're thinkin' of marriage

Take warning to what I tell

Don't marry the wrong woman

It's worse than livin' in hell.

Seven Years With The Wrong Woman

It'll age you and turn your hair gray

They say love is blind - but search 'til you find

A face you can stand every day.
