Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Hear those church bells a ringing
Hear that choir a-singing
That’s why I’m sad, that’s why I’m mad
There’s nobody to hear me
There’s nobody to cheer me
Someone stole my man away
On this my wedding day
Now I’m left in the lurch
‘Cause when I get to that church
Chorus
I saw my angel chile a marching down the aisle
Upon his face he wore a smile
While I cried as if my heart was going to break
When I thought of who was goin’ to eat that wedding cake
And when the preacher man took the wedding band
and placed it on that woman’s hand
I started in to pray and then I heard the organ play
Here comes the bride,Here comes the bride
The girl who stole my lovin’ man away
- When that man was near dying
I just sat there crying
I pawned my rings, to buy him things
Oh how that man did pet me
Said he’d never forget me
But this promise wasn’t good
I’d sue him if I could
But there’s no use to sigh
I just wish that I could die
