Emmylou Harris - You Never Can Tell (2008 Remastered Album Version) lyrics

It was a teenage wedding And the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre Did truly love the Mademoiselle Now the young monsieur and madame Have rung the Chapel bell C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell They furnished off an apartment With a two room Roebuck sale The coolerator was crammed With TV dinners and ginger ale But when Pierre found work The little money comin' worked out well C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell They had a hi-fi phono Boy did they let it blast Seven hundred little records All rockin' rhythm and jazz When the sun went down The rapid tempo of the music fell C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell They bought a souped-up jitney T'was a cherry-red fifty nine They drove it down to New Orleans To celebrate their anniversary It was there that Pierre Was wedded to the lovely Mademoiselle C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to show you never can tell It was a teenage wedding And the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre Did truly love the Mademoiselle Now the young monsieur and madame Have rung the Chapel bell C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell C'est La Vie, say the old folks It goes to slow you never can tell
