When I was young and in my prime,
I thought I never would marry;
G D7
Fell in love with a pretty little girl
G
And sure ‘nuff we got married
D7
Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re,
Prettiest girl I'd ever saw
D7 G
name was Devilish Mary
G
We were both young and foolish
Got in a powerful hurry;
We both agreed upon one word
D7 G
And the wedding day was Thursday.

Ring dum - ma ring dum der-re

She knocked me in the head with the shovel.
