Lyrics
- A friend of mine once said to me
“Why don’t you take a wife
You’ll never know true happiness
Till you try married life
I found a girl and bought the ring
Got married right away
I wouldn’t change my place
With any single man today
Chorus
I’m glad I’m married, my wife is a dream
Mends my clothes and treats me right
Lets me stay out late at night
Don’t have to sneak home
Or tell her where I was
She just says, “Good evening, dear”
Yes she does
- When I go out with my old pals
To have a Jubilee
I’m always glad to know there’s someone
waiting home for me
For when we all get pie-eyed
And feel foolish in the head
I know my wife is waiting
Just to tuck me into bed
