I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all of my life
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, oh Lord
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow

She came down the stairs
Combing back her long yellow hair
And her cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, oh Lord
And her cheeks were as red as a rose

I done all I can do
To try to get along with you
And I'm not going to be treated this a-way
This a-way, oh Lord
And I'm not going to be treated this a-way, oh yeah

Oooh, oooh, oooh
She came into the room
Where she met her fatal doom
Oh, I'm not going to be treated this a-way
This a-way, oh Lord
And I'm not going to be treated this a-way

I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all of my life
She ran me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, oh Lord
Ran me out in the cold rain and snow

And her cheeks were as red as a rose
