We don't aim to kill yer, Mister - fact is, that we need yer life,
'Cos you've wronged our little sister - now she's gotta be yer wife,
So we've got the preacher waiting, with the ring and Holy Word:
That "A good wife to her husband is a blessing from the Lord!"
We don't want yer for our brother! we'd much rather gun yer down!
But Sis soon will be a mother, and the rumour's over town!
There's no time for hesitating; Billy's gun-hand's kinda bored -
But "A good wife to her husband is a blessing from the Lord!"
For a man's still good for marriage if he's shy a limb or two,
And we've brought Doc's cripple-carriage... Now the verdict's up to you!
If you run, Bill pulls the trigger - and we bundle yer aboard,
And "A good wife to her husband is a blessing from the Lord!"
Don't you try no misbehaviour! Bill'll be watching from the pew!
And the only word can save yer is a simple, sweet: "I do!"
Right, Jake! Pour the man one jigger - then we'll tie that nuptial cord!
For "A good wife to her husband is a blessing from the Lord!"
