Seven years with the wrong woman is more than a man can stand Seven years with the wrong woman will wreck most any good men Seven years with the wrong woman it's the same in the mountain or dale She'll stay awake all night tryin' to start a fight then have you thrown in the jail Seven years with the wrong woman is punishment there is bad Seven years with the wrong woman will drive most any man mad When you married the wrong woman there is only one thing you can do Dig yourself a hole crawl in the hole then put the ground over you [ steel ] Listen boys if you're thinking of marriage take warning to what I tell Don't you marry the wrong woman it's worse than living in jail Seven years with the wrong woman it'll end you and turn your hair gray They say love is blind but search till you find a face you can stand every day
