Roy Drusky Lyrics
"Mr. Jones I Want to Marry Your Wife"

(Imogene Woods)

Mr. Jones could I have a word with you
Just one minute I won't keep you more than two
What I have to say may seem wrong but it's right
Mr. Jones I want to marry your wife.

I'm in love with her and she's in love with me
I know she's asked you many times to set her free
Give us a chance let our love be right
Mr. Jones I want to marry your wife.

--- Instrumental ---

Mr. Jones I've watched you hurt and make her cry
You don't want her you can't love her as much as I
You say I have the nerve to ask you let her go
Well, Mr. Jones without her love I can't go on.

I'm in love with her and she's in love with me
You keep holding on why won't you set her free
What I ask of you may seem wrong but it's right
Mr. Jones I want to marry your wife...
