WILLIE NELSON lyrics : "$1000 Wedding"

It was a $1000 wedding
Supposed to be
Held the other day and

With all the invitations sent
The young bride went away
When the groom

Saw people passing notes
Not unusual, he might say
But where are

The flowers for my baby
I'd even like to see
Her mean old mama

And why ain't there a funeral
If you're gonna act that way
I hate to tell you

How he acted when the news arrived
He took some friends out drinking
And it's lucky they survived

Well, he told them
Everything there was to
Tell there along the way

And he felt so bad
When he saw the traces
Of old lies still on their faces

So why don't someone here
Just spike his drink
Why don't you do him in some old way

Supposed to be a funeral
It's been a bad, bad day
The Reverend Dr. William Grace

Was talking to the crowd
All about the sweet child's holy face
And the saints who sung out loud

And he swore the fiercest beasts
Could all be put to sleep
The same silly way

And where are
The flowers for the girl
She only knew she loved the world

And why ain't there one lonely horn
And one sad note to play
Supposed to be a funeral

It's been a bad, bad day
Supposed to be a funeral
It's been a bad, bad day
