Patty Griffin - Get Ready Marie lyrics

(Verse) Well, she was a pretty good looking young girl And she kissed me in such a way. But to get anything she said “show me the ring” The way they did it those days. Well, I never thought too much about it, If I was to marry unkind. But any young man with a salt or a dime Has other things on his mind. (Chorus) Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie, Get ready for dreams to come true. Get ready, Marie, get ready for me, There’s so many things we can do. (Verse) Well, I woke drunk for the night before sponsored links When the morning of my wedding day. And the best man said “man, the best thing to do Is just to keep going that way” But my pretty young bride wasn’t laughing When I tripped and fell down the aisle And though I was in pain still no one could complain That I wasn’t wearing a smile. (Chorus) Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie, Get ready for dreams to come true. Get ready, Marie, get ready for me, There’s so many things we can do. (Bridge) No, this isn’t the end of our story No, our marriage stuck like a habbit. But I had a good hunch when she kissed me a bunch She could do other things like a rabbit, like a rabbit. (Chorus) Get ready, Marie, get ready, Marie, Get ready for dreams to come true. Get ready, Marie, get ready for me, There’s so many things we can do.
