Married By The Bible, Divorced By The Law (1952)
What a strange world we live in what a shame oh what a shame
Someone’s always quarreling and 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 worse 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 time 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, divorced by the law
Every day there’s more and more the worse 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
