Lyrics

Wedding Party

Mama was cryin' - Daddy was sighin' - my bride was a sight for sore eyes
Ten thousand dollar dress - this wedding's a mess - two years planning from last July

I'd been drinkin' and started thinkin' 'bout our ol' swimming hole, down the road
Boy that was somethin' - she wore next to nothin' as she
flew off that 'ol knotted rope

Wedding party, dressed to the T - but I tell you what, if you ask me ....

I'd toss my cummerbund, while there's still sun - leave my white shirt lyin' in the dirt
Girl, throw your bouquet, it's time to play, drop that garter, jump in the water
Swing on a rope, take a little toke, raise it up for a wedding toast
With a shot of Bacardi - get a little naughty - Let's have a down home wedding party

"Son, are you here?" said the preacher in my ear, "do you take this woman to be your wife?"
She looked at me too, and I said "I sure do! - I wanna be with this girl the rest of my life"

The women were sobbing, my heart was throbbin' as I said those vows to my bride
Two years of pure hell 'fore that wedding bell brought us all together here inside

Wedding party, dressed to the T - but I tell you what, if you ask me ....

I'd toss my cummerbund, while there's still sun - leave my white shirt lyin' in the dirt
Girl, throw your bouquet, it's time to play, drop that garter, jump in the water
Swing on a rope, take a little toke, raise it up for a wedding toast
With a shot of Bacardi - get a little naughty - Let's have a down home wedding party

She looked at me grinnin' - I knew she was thinkin' 'bout that 'ole swimming hole all the while
"I pronounce you" we heard- those were the last words as we ran hand in hand down the aisle

I tossed my cummerbund, while there was sun - left my white shirt lyin' in the dirt
She threw her bouquet, and said "Let's play" - dropped that garter, jumped in the water
Swung on a rope, took a little toke - raised it up for a wedding toast
Had a shot of Bacardi - got a little naughty - we had a down home wedding party

We heard a sound, turned around - low and behold, running down the road
Was the preacher and the people, all sheddin' their clothes, with a bottle of Bacardi
... wedding party... down home wedding party ....
