Local Song
“I got married this morning at half past ten. ¶ I am as happy as nineteen men.”
I got married this morning at half past ten. I am as happy as nineteen men.
The parson quickly tied the knot and I was offaly glad.
For the two bob piece I had given him it was so terribly bad.
But I forgot my bride all through my absent mind.
So where's the good of a honeymoon when you leave your wife behind. This song was composed in the year 1933 by James Foy.- Collector
