Randy Newman A Wedding in Cherokee County lyrics

There she is sittin' there
Out behind the smoke house in her rockin' chair
She don't say nothin', she don't do nothin'
She don't feel nothin', she don't know nothin'
Maybe she's crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so

Her papa was a midget, her mama was a whore
Her granddad was a newsboy 'til he was eighty-four
What a slam old bastard he was
Man don't you think I know she hates me
Man don't you think I know that she's no good
If she knew how she'd unfaithful to me
I think she'd kill me if she could
Maybe she's crazy I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so

I'm not afraid of the grey wolf
Who stalks through our forest at dawn
As long as I have her beside me

I have the strength to carry on

Today we will be married
And all the freaks that she knows will be there
And all the people from the village will be there
To congratulate us
I will carry her across the threshold
And I will make dim the light
And I will attempt to spend my love within her

But though I try with all my might
She will laugh at my mighty sword
She will laugh at my mighty sword
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
Lord, help me if you will
Maybe we're both crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so
