The Tie Divine

Now, Him and me ain't always
Had the smilinest of times,
Our weddin' bells rung long ago,
We've most forgot their chimes.
We differ 'bout a lot of things
In this here game of life,
And I sometimes get to wishin'
He'd got some other wife.

Our neighbors there, the Johnsons,
Have busted up for keeps;
He goes around a whistlin',
She says she never weeps.
And Smith, he's got a bran new wife,
The old one was a crank;
So he is mighty happy,
And he has the courts to thank.

But Jim and me, we're dif'rent,
We got a lot of kids;
We never could divide them up,
The humane law forbids.
Besides-there is the one that's gone!
And when I think of him
It makes me love his father,
So I guess I'll stay with Jim.
