Jimmie Rodgers - She Was Happy Till She Met You lyrics

On a bright and sunny day when a young wife ran away From a husband who had filled her heart with pain On the table laid a note these simple words she wrote Goodbye I hope we'll never meet again To her mother she returned for her old home she had yearned For all the love she had for him had fled But he sought her out at last with repentance for the past But her mother met him in the door and said She was happy till she met you the fault is all your own Id she wishes to forget you please leave her alone She has come to her old mother because there is no other She'll be happy in her home sweet home [ fiddle - ac.guitar ] I have come to say goodbye said the husband with a sigh Just let me take her to my heart again Says the mother it's too late all her love has turned to hate So go your way your pleading's are in vain She's my wife the husband cried you can't take her from my side The law forbids you part us we are wed But the mother answered nay and sadly turned away And once again to him she calmly said She was happy till she met you...
