She said she gave me the best years of her life
And that I ought to be thankful that I had her for my wife
Well I'm thankful that those good years have fin'ly come and gone
And now that woman is ready to move along
When I said I do I really didn't know what kind of do do I was into
I've been in army and marriage with her
Is worse than any place they can send you
So the next time I get married I don't care what that S.O.B. wants
When he asks me to say I do to my honey
Gonna have to say hell no I don't I don't I don't I don't
Gonna have to say hell no I don't
Middle -4 bars-
Fought more with her than I ever did in Vietnam
Lord the fighting wasn't bloody still I don't think I ever won
But now I'm a short timer that woman's getting ready to go
And it won't be long before she walks on out that door
When I said I do I really didn't know what kind of do do I was into
I've been in army and marriage with her
Is worse than any place they can send you
So the next time I get married I don't care what that S.O.B. wants
When he asks me to say I do to my honey
Gonna have to say hell no I don't I don't I don't I don't
Gonna have to say hell no I don't
