late last night my bride came by
to tell me that she'd let me high
she didn't even make me cry
I wasn't even worried
I told her not to mind at all
that I would take it and play ball
I hope she don't have far to fall
when she finds out 'bout Mavis
leave the bottles on the floor
'cause I won't live here anymore
I'll be livin' right next door
with Mavis
we used to play at kings and queens
and play at ball upon the green
and man you should have heard her sing
to think it might be over
now Mavis she knows where I been
and she don't try to fence me in
and she plays ball and she drinks gin
I think it's her I'll marry
