Lyrics She Was Happy Till She Met You - Jimmie Rodgers

On a bright and sunny day, when a young wife went away from her husband who had filled her heart with pain.
On the table lay a note, these simple words she wrote- "Goodbye I hope we'll never met again". To her mother she returned, for that old home she had yearned. For all the love she had for him had fled. But he sought her out at last with repentance for the past
But her mother met him at the door and said
"She was happy till she met you the fault is all your own
Id she wishes to forget you please leave her alone
She has come to her old mother because there is no other
She'll be happy in her home sweet home"
"I have come to say goodbye" said the husband with a sigh
"Just let me take her to my heart again"
Says the mother "it's too late all her love has turned to hate
So go your way your pleading's are in vain"
"She's my wife the husband cried you can't take her from my side
The law forbids you part us we are wed"
But the mother answered nay she sadly turned away
And once again to him she calmly said
She was happy till she met you the fault is all your own
Id she wishes to forget you please leave her alone
She has come to her old mother because there is no other
She'll be happy in her home sweet home"
