She Didn't Let the Ink Dry on the Paper

Burl Ives

Oh I met her in a honky tonk in Dallas
A little place that's just outside of town
Over one too many beers we discussed it
And decided that we'd like to settle down

So I bought a golden band and got the license
And found the preacher just to make things right
But it ended all too soon I'm on a one man honeymoon
And that's how I'm gonna spend my wedding night

Oh she didn't let the ink dry on the paper
Till everything I own was in her name
No she didn't let the ink dry on the paper
And that honky tonk in Dallas is to blame

So I bought a golden band and got the license

And that's how I'm gonna spend my wedding night

Till everything I own was in her name
No she didn't let the ink dry on the paper
And that honky tonk in Dallas is to blame
