Late last night my bride came by To tell me that she'd let me high She didn't even make me cry I wasn't even worried I told her not to mind at all That I would take it and play ball I hope she don't have far to fall When she finds out 'bout Mavis Leave the bottles on the floor 'Cause I won't live here anymore I'll be livin' right next door With Mavis We used to play at kings and queens And play at ball upon the green And man you should have heard her sing To think it might be over Now Mavis she knows where I been And she don't try to fence me in And she plays ball and she drinks gin I think it's her I'll marry
