Marry Me

You say that you're going to love me
And love me all of your life
But when I ask you to marry me
You say you're never gonna be my wife

Oh, Shirley, won't you (Marty Lee)
Oh, please (Marty Lee)
You know I love you (Marty Lee)
Oh, please, Shirley, won't you be my wife?

Me, I can stand your drinking
I can take your gambling too
But when you're running 'round with those other girls
I can't see no future in you

She's never gonna (Marty Lee)
No, never (Marty Lee)
I don't want you (Marty Lee)
Don't mean I'm never gonna be your wife

I asked your father for your hand
He said he'll give it gladly
Said he know by the look in my eyes
That I love you oh so madly

Oh, Shirley, won't you (Marty Lee)
Oh, please (Marty Lee)
You know I want you (Marty Lee)
I'll always love you, Shirley, won't you marry me?

I promise I'll be faithful
So listen to my song
I'll buy you a diamond and a plenty Ford
And a Cadillac big and long

You talk about diamond and Fords
And you tell me you'll be true
When you give me that Cadillac big and long
I'm just a wife for you

Oh, Shirley's gonna (Marty Lee)
Yes, I am (Marty Lee)
Oh, I'm grateful (Marty Lee)
Shirley's gonna Marty Lee
Oh, Shirley's gonna Marty Lee
Oh, Shirley's gonna Marty Lee
Oh, Shirley's gonna Marty Lee
Oh, Shirley's gonna Marty Lee
