Seven years with the wrong woman Is more than a man can stand Seven years with the wrong woman Will wreck most any good man Seven years with the wrong woman It's the same in the mountain or dale She'll stay awake all night trying to start a fight Then have you thrown into jail Seven years with the wrong woman Is punishment that is bad Seven years with the wrong woman Will drive most any man mad When you've married the wrong woman There is only one thing you can do Dig youself a hole then crawl in that hole Then pull the ground over you Instrumental (a full verse played) Listen boys if you're thinking of marriage Take warning to what I tell Don't you marry the wrong woman It's worse than living in jail Seven years with the wrong woman It'll age you and turn your hair gray They say love is blind but search 'til you find A face you can stand every day
