Marriage Vows

Do you take this woman to be your dear wife

Do you vow to love her the rest of your life

And will you protect her and honor her name

Oh don’t cause her heartaches and don’t bring her shame

Share with her in poverty with her in wealth

For richer for poorer through sickness and health

All these things the parson did ask me and then

I whispered I do and I’d do it again

For I really love her the one I call wife

And I’ll go on caring the rest of my life

I’d die to protect her and she’d do the same

I’d cut off my tongue before I’d bring her shame

We may be in poverty may not have wealth

But we stick together through sickness and health

I’ll always be thankful till my life is done

That two little words made us both into one
