Married by the Bible, Divorced by the Law
Hank Snow



What a strange world we live in, what a shame, oh what a shame.

Someone's always quarrellin' the marriage don't remain.

Divorces by the thousands; is this human race insane?

I always thought that marriage should be a sacred thing.

Married by the Bible, divorced by the law,

Every day there's more and more, the worst I ever saw.

Things have changed, they're not the same as the days of Ma and Pa,

They were married by the Bible, no divorces by the law.

Steps are often taken without thinking twice,

And oft' times there's a child or two who's left to pay the price.

Those little hearts so innocent they don't know who's to blame,

No Mom and Dad to love them, what a shame, oh what a shame.

Married by the Bible and divorced by the law,

Every day there's more and more, the worst I ever saw.

Things have changed, they're not the same as the days of Ma and Pa,

They were married by the Bible, and no divorces by the law.

Married by the Bible, divorced by the law;

Every day there's more and more, the worst I ever saw.

Things have changed, they're not the same as the days of Ma and Pa,

They were married by the Bible, no divorces by the law.










Will Your Lawyer Talk to God?
Kitty Wells



Your lawyer called and said he had the papers all prepared

To sign my name was all I had to do

He saw the judge, now he's seen me, there's only one thing left

Will your lawyer talk to God for you?

Will your lawyer talk to God, and plead your case up on high

And defend the way you broke my heart in two?

Man made laws to set you free on earth, but is God satisfied?

Will your lawyer talk to God for you?

We all face that final judgement, and it's very strict they say

When your time comes I wonder what you'll do

Will you bow your head in shame or will you turn your head away

Or will your lawyer talk to God for you?

Will your lawyer talk to God, and plead your case up on high

And defend the way you broke my heart in two?

Man made laws to set you free on earth, but is God satisfied?

Will your lawyer talk to God for you?
