George Jones F- Tammy Wynette The Ceremony Lyrics

The Ceremony Lyrics

(Billy Sherrill, Jenny Strickland, Carmol Taylor)

 

 (man speaks):

 Dearly beloved, we are gathered together,

 In the presence of God, and these witnesses,

 To join this man and this woman in the bonds,

 Of holy matrimony

 

 Do you Tammy, take this man, George

 To be your lawfully wedded husband,

 To love and to cherish until death do you part?

 

 (T.W.) sings:

 I'll take this man and by him I'll stand

 I promise that we'll never part

 To him, I'll be true

 There'll be no one new

 >From now, till death do us part

 

 (man speaks)

 And do you, George, take this woman, Tammy 

 To be your lawfully wedded wife,

 To love and to cherish, until death do you part?

 

 (G.J.)

 Yes I'll take this woman

 She'll be mine forever

 And I'll love her, with all of my heart

 

 To have and to hold

 My love won't grow cold

 I promise, till death do us part

 

 (both sing)

 We'll take each other

 >From this day forward

 Together, in sickness or health

 

 United with love

 We'll face life together

 If we're poor or if we have wealth

 

 For better or worst

 You'll always come first

 And no one can keep us apart

 

 Yes, we take each other

 Forsaking all others

 Together, till death do us part

 

 (man speaks)

 I now pronounce you, man and wife.
