Wedding Bells (Live At The Grand Ole Opry/1949)

Our guest, once again, Hank Williams
And he's back this time to sing another old favorite
Oh, wedding bells, thank you

I have the invitation that you sent me
You wanted me to see you change your name
I couldn't stand to see you wed another
But dear I hope you're happy just the same

Wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
That should be ringing out for you and me
And down the aisle with someone else you're walking
Those wedding bells will never ring for me

I fancy that I see a bunch of roses
A blossom from an orange tree in your hair
And while the organ plays I love you truly
Please let me pretend that I am there

Oh, wedding bells are ringing in the chapel
Ever since the day you set me free
I knew someday that you would wed another
But wedding bells will never ring for me

I tell you boy, that Hank can really sing
Yes sir, that boy can really sing
You know Mister Pulley Hank Williams was in the army
During the war and he was over in Australia (yeah)
And he learned to throw one of these eh boomerang
Oh, boomerang

Yeah, one of the things you can throw out there
And then come back to you
Yeah, and then after he's discharged and then sent back home
Afraid that he was sent a new boomerang for Christmas (yeah)
At who likes to cut his throat drive through a hole in the way
I don't get it
Well sir Rag, you go back there and sit down there, budy
