Bragg Billy Mother Of The Bride Lyrics

Mother Of The Bride Lyrics

The Reverend Mother went and got me a drink
She came back and said to me
"Well what do you think"
I said "I've made myself a fool
For the
naughtiest girl in school"
Chorus:
How can I deal with this hurt I feel
inside?
I tell it to the mother of the bride
I put on my suit and smile
for the big day
But I couldn't watch as her dad gave her away
And as they
solemnly said "You'll do"
Her mother said "That should have been
you"
Chorus
At the mercy of the moon
The boy who spoke too soon
She
married him and destroyed all my hopes
Of a two-up, two-down, two point
five
and a dish on the roof for the soaps
But I saw them at the hardware
store
He looked boring and she looked bored
Chorus
It's nice to know
that someone was on my side
Best wishes to the mother of the bride.
