Well (D)I met a boy from Grassy Branch, fine as he can (Bm)be

(D)He's real smart with a real big heart and (G)he's gonna (A)marry (D)me
(Chorus)
(D)He's gonna marry me and (G)we're gonna go to (D)town
We're gonna buy some real good car and (G)we're gonna drive a-(D)round
We'll hold hands an' touch 'n' hug, he (G)talks so sweet to (D)me
'Cause he knows a lot about (A)love and stuff and he's gonna (G)marry (D)me
