Three Blue Teardrops

Lyrics

My gal Jenny Lee gropin' & a feeling' me
Up in the barn havin' some fun
in walks her mad pa, got both barrels cocked,
welcome to the family, wedding' by shotgun

Jenny's brothers Hank and Earl they dragged me to the floor
Hank spit tobacco in my eye
Then her Pa he called on Reverend Tom, big shotgun wedding on the farm
He said Maggie bring the Whiskey and Rye

So the party got commencing, kin folk did some dancing,
bare feet a stompin' & a guns a goin' off
I thought "why bother cryin'?" Stopped cussin' & whinin'
drank some moonshine & got real drunk

Well mosquitoes bit and kinfolk itched & me & Jenny we got hitched
Redneck idea of God's divine providence
The Hank and Earl they F**ked some sheep, Jenny's Pa fell into whisky sleep
I ain't been in that county ever since...Yee haw!

Promenade, Do-si-do, around and back, Let's go, over and under, and through to the corners, it's a shotgun wedding!
