Well I met a boy from Grassy Branch fine as he can be
I met him at the big barn dance and he took a shine to me
Sky-blue eyes a big wide smile and tall as a sycamore tree
He's real smart with a real big heart and he's gonna marry me
He's gonna marry me and we're gonna go to town
We're gonna buy a real good car and we're gonna drive around
We'll hold hands and touch and hug he talks so sweet to me
Cause he knows a lot about love and stuff and he's gonna marry me

His mama don't like me one little bit but you know I don't care
Let her pitch her hissy-fit cause I ain't a marryin' her
He's always been a mama's boy it's just plain jealousy
She's as mad as an old wet hen cause he's gonna marry me
Oh he's gonna marry me and he's gonna buy me a ring
We're gonna be so free cut mama's aprin strings
He's gonna build me a pretty little house have a pretty little made-for-three
Cause he done kiss me on the mouth and he's gonna marry me
Yeah he's gonna marry me he's gonna buy me a ring
Yeah he's done kiss me on the mouth and he's gonna marry me
