Lyrics Wedding of Hillbilly Lili Marlene - June Carter Cash
Come
on
there,
Lilli.
Get
out
of
bed
and
put
your
shoes
on.
Today's
your
wedding
day.
Eh,
Paw,
don't
you
bother
me
now.
I'm
tired.
Oh,
come
on,
Lilli.
The
folks
are
all
a
waiting.
Oh,
Paw,
I
never
can
get
enough
sleep
around
here.
There
were
tears
in
the
crowded
congregation
They
had
cried,
'til
they
washed
their
faces
clean
There
was
free
lunch
and
beer
and
recreation
At
the
wedding
of
Lilli
Marlene
Men
who
dated
her
for
season
after
season
From
Kentucky,
Alabam,
and
Tennessee
Come
from
miles
around,
but
only
for
one
reason
Just
to
see
who
the
sucker
would
be
From
the
kitchen
you
could
smell
the
beans
a
baking
You
could
smell
the
possum
frying
far
and
wide
You
could
hear
guitars
and
fiddles
softly
faking
The
melody
called
here
comes
the
bride
Down
the
aisle
come
old
Paw
in
all
his
glory
A
slowly
dragging
Lilli
by
the
hand
But
the
groom
he
was
already
at
the
altar
He
saw
the
shotgun
in
Paw's
other
hand
Do
you
take
this
man
to
be
your
wedded
husband
Said
the
parson
in
these
words
so
pure
and
plain
I
sure
do,
but
there's
just
one
other
question
What's
that
Lilli?
Please,
tell
me,
sir.
What
is
this
here
feller's
name
There
were
tears
in
the
crowded
congregation
When
the
wedding
bells
rang
throughout
the
land
You
could
hear
all
the
women
folk
a
saying
Oh,
Lilli's
finally
got
herself
a
man
(sound
of
shotgun)
I
do.
Me
too.
