The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Wife number one was Annabelle Jones

A red-haired beauty

Mostly skin and bones

She liked to play the ponies

I met her at the track

When I hit the pick six

I forgot to go back

Bride number two was pretty McGee

She loved the outdoors and

She sure loved me

We married on a mountain

That was covered in snow

When the weather cleared up

It was time to go

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Wives three and four

Were identical twins

They were from the twin cities

Named Lucy and Lynne

I wed one in the spring

And one in fall

They had a sister named Lola

I loved best of all

Sylvia smith was the

Fifth of the bunch

A curvy little waitress

That I met over lunch

She loved to eat

But she hated to cook

One night after dinner

I decided to book

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

Six seven and eight

I cherished them all

They came in medium short and tall

We had nothing but joy

Fun and games

But for the life of me now

I can't remember their names

The best for last

You're number nine

We walked down the aisle

And I'm walkin' the line

We'll last forever

This ain't no fling

Course just in case

I've got an extra wedding ring

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives

I got one-two-three-four-

Five-six-seven-eight-nine wives
