I’ll see you in my dreams

Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife have parted
Gonna take a little stroll downtown

Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown

Wait your ramblin’ wait your gamblin’
Stop stayin’ out late at night
Stay home with your wife and family
And stay fireside bright
