Lud:  
I love my wife and I love her more 
Than the way I used to love her before 
She became my wife, but today she is 
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy, 
Beside her waiting for her to wake 
And her eyes to open like dawn is breaking 
The whole world over for me today, 
'Cause I can't believe that I heard her say 
She would honour, love and obey 'til death do us 
Pardon me if I catch my breath. 
 
When I knew my wife was the wife for me 
We went out and sat by the willow tree, 
And I begged and pleaded, uh huh, 
Marry me, honey, and that is what she did. 
 
[Chorus:] 
Begged and pleaded, uh huh 
Marry me, honey, 
And that is what she did. 
 
Oh, how you pleaded 
If you thought you needed to 
You sure were wrong! 
You took too long. 
But I kept on praying 
One day I'd be saying 
I love my husband, I love him more 
Than the way I used to love him before 
He became my husband but now he is, 
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy 
Beside him waiting for him to wake 
And his loving arms to reach up and take me 
For one more trip to the Milky Way, 
Like he did before, when I heard him say 
He would honour, love and obey 'til death do us 
Pardon me if I catch my breath. 
 
Oh, I never thought he'd propose to me 
'Til he took me out by the willow tree, 
And he begged and pleaded, uh huh, 
Marry me, honey, and that is what he did. 
 
[Chorus:] 
Begged and pleaded, uh huh 
Marry me, honey, 
And that is what she did. 
 
I love my husband, I love him more 
Than the way I used to love him before 
He became my husband but now he is, 
So don't call me early 'cause I'll be busy 
Beside him waiting for him to wake 
And his loving arms to reach up and take me 
For one more trip to the Milky Way, 
Like he did before, when I heard him say 
He would honour, love and obey 'til death do us 
Pardon me if I catch my breath. 
 
Oh, I never thought he'd propose to me 
'Til he took me out by the willow tree, 
And he begged and pleaded, uh huh, 
Marry me, honey, and that is what we did. 
 
[Chorus:] 
Begged and pleaded, uh huh 
Marry me, honey, 
And that is what we did.
