lyrics

The Wedding Plates

She stayed at home and that's all she wrote
So do hang up your hat and coat
The single room and the mess inside
Compliments, your nervous bride

Oh, goodbye brother
Oh, mother-in-law
You poor old man, ain't ya seen it all
But you don't die, no, you just break
Breaking up the wedding plates

A tumbleweed was seen in town
So dry and bent from rollin 'round
It needs some public place to hide
Compliments, its nervous bride

Oh, goodbye brother
Oh, mother-in-law
You poor old man, ain't ya seen it all
But you don't die, no, you just break
Breaking up the wedding plates

She stayed at home and that's all she wrote
So do hang up your hat and coat
The single room and the mess inside
Compliments, your nervous bride

No silver sets, no further plans
Is it too big yet
Won'tcha ever land
But youdon't die
No, you just break
Breaking up the wedding plates

Breaking up the wedding plates
Breaking up the wedding plates
Breaking up the wedding plates
Breaking up the wedding plates
Breaking up the wedding plates
