$1000 Wedding Full Lyrics

[00:28.93] It was a a thousand dollar wedding [00:34.43] Supposed to be held the other day and [00:42.33] With all the invitations sent [00:49.58] The young bride went away [00:55.23] When the groom saw people passing notes [01:01.10] Not unusual, he might say [01:07.83] But where are the flowers for my baby? [01:14.73] I'd even like to see her mean old mama [01:20.98] And why ain't there a funeral, if you're gonna act that way? [01:33.88] [01:45.97] I hate to tell you how he acted when the news arrived [01:58.15] He took some friends out drinking and it's lucky they survived [02:12.20] Well, he told them everything there was to tell there along the way [02:25.03] And he felt so bad when he saw [02:29.47] The traces of old lies still on their faces [02:38.27] So why don't someone here just spike his drink? [02:43.36] Why don't you do him in some old way? [02:51.53] Supposed to be a funeral [02:56.85] It's been a bad, bad day [03:02.94] [03:15.24] The Reverend Dr. William Grace [03:20.60] Was talking to the crowd [03:26.46] All about the sweet child's holy face and [03:32.77] The saints who sung out loud [03:41.11] And he swore the fiercest beasts [03:46.58] Could all be put to sleep the same silly way [03:54.25] And where are the flowers for the girl [04:00.91] She only knew she loved the world [04:06.23] And why ain't there one lonely horn and one sad note to play? [04:20.11] Supposed to be a funeral [04:25.47] It's been a bad, bad day [04:32.19] Supposed to be a funeral [04:37.79] It's been a bad, bad day [04:41.92]
