We are gathered up in here today To join in holy monogamony And this ol' gal he brought with him
The weddin' chapel couldn't get more packed The lovebirds were dressed in white and black The preacher turned to the groom and asked Him to slip the ring on her left hand He turned to his best man
"And I don't want it gone"
They cut the cake and they poured champagne They crashed right into the groom's old flame The new bride was kinda green
"And I don't want it gone"
When the catfight broke up, the band broke in Did some hagglin' and hankerin' some cash When somebody's cousin that nobody knew Yelled, "What's with this hill-billy crap?" You could've heard a pin drop
"And I don't want it gone"
"And I don't want it gone"
Ya, no, no, just hold it, no I wouldn't give it and then tell I didn't like it Never ask the preacher to hold your beer
