Well I met a boy from Grassy Branch fine as he can be

I met him at the big barn dance and he took a shine to me

Sky-blue eyes a big wide smile and tall as a sycamore tree

He's real smart with a real big heart and he's gonna marry me



He's gonna marry me and we're gonna go to town

We're gonna buy a real good car and we're gonna drive around

We'll hold hands and touch and hug he talks so sweet to me

Cause he knows a lot about love and stuff and he's gonna marry me

[ mandolin - fiddle ]

His mama don't like me one little bit but you know I don't care

Let her pitch her hissy-fit cause I ain't a marryin' her

He's always been a mama's boy it's just plain jealousy

She's as mad as an old wet hen cause he's gonna marry me



Oh he's gonna marry me and he's gonna buy me a ring

We're gonna be so free cut mama's aprin strings

He's gonna build me a pretty little house have a pretty little made-for-three

Cause he done kiss me on the mouth and he's gonna marry me



Yeah he's gonna marry me he's gonna buy me a ring

Yeah he's done kiss me on the mouth and he's gonna marry me
