When a Girl Becomes a Wife 歌词

You asked me if I'd marry you And I believe I can Though I'm just a young girl They say you're a decent man. I've been raised by mom and daddy With a lot of love around And that's something I can't live without When I move in to town. You must give me everything I had when I was home The things I was accoustomed to Some treasures of my own. All the things that daddy give me Have become a way of life It's not too much to ask When a girl becomes a wife. Chorus: I'll need a featherbed to lay on For my flower bed, a hoe A churn to make fresh butter And I'll need a radio. A gingham dress for Sundays And my legs cannot be bare A petticoat with ruffles And some ribbons for my hair. Pretty curtains for my kitchen Iron skillets that I'll need A swing out on the front porch And a bible I can read. I know you'll be like daddy When a baby comes in time You'll surely build a cradle And learn a nursery rhyme. I'll try to be like mama Not a woman of the world And we'll live in love together With our little boy or girl. Chorus: I'll need a featherbed to lay on For my flower bed, a hoe A churn to make fresh butter And I'll need a radio. A gingham dress for Sundays And my legs cannot be bare A petticoat with ruffles And some ribbons for my hair. Pretty curtains for my kitchen Iron skillets that I'll need A swing out on the front porch And a bible I can read...
