Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Love and honor you for the rest of your life
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Love and honor you for the rest of your life
If you promise me that I’ll be your man
If you promise me that I’ll be your man
If you promise me that I’ll be your man
I will love the best I can
Stick to the promise that you made me
Stick to the promise that you made me
Stick to the promise that you made me
That you’ll stay away from Johnny Lee
Oh mamma love me good
Oh mamma love me good
Oh mamma love me good
Oh mamma love me good
If you want me to, I'll cook and sew
If you want me to, I'll cook and sew
If you want me to, I'll cook and sew
Outside you there is no place to go
Don't you treat me so doggone mean
Don't you treat me so doggone mean
Don't you treat me so doggone mean
Oh you're the meanest woman i've ever seen
Oh mamma love me good
Oh mamma love me good
Oh mamma love me good
Oh mamma love me good
And I'll
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Be your husband if you'll be my wife
Love and honor you for the rest of your life
