I told you on the day we wed I was gonna love you 'til I's dead Made you wait 'til our wedding night That's the first and the last time I wear white So if the ties that bind ever do come loose Tie them in a knot like a hangman's noose 'Cause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hell Before I'll see you with someone else Put me in the ground Put me six foot down And let the stone say: Here lies the girl whose only crutch Was loving one man just a little too much If you go before I do I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two Well, It won't be whiskey, won't be meth It'll be your name on my last breath If divorce or death ever do us part The coroner will call it a broken heart So put me in the ground Put me six foot down And let the stone say: Here lies the girl whose only crutch Was loving one man just a little too much If you go before I do I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two Dig two Ooh, ooh I took your name when I took those vows I meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now, Oh, right now If the ties that bind ever do come loose If forever ever ends for you If that ring gets a little too tight You might as well read me my last rights And let the stone say: Here lies the girl whose only crutch Was loving one man just a little too much If you go before I do Gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig, uh! Heavy stone right next to mine, We'll be together 'til the end of time Don't you go before I do, I'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two I told you on the day we wed I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
