Nor did we care about her hair,
Her pillbox hat or her savoir faire.
But still we thought we knew

Then I got Mary pregnant and man that was all she wrote.
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat.
We went down to the courthouse and the judge put it all to rest.

No flowers, no wedding dress.
That night we went down to the river and into the river we'd dive,
Oh down to the river we did ride.

Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.
