Waiting At The Church (My Wife Won't Let Me)

Waiting At The Church (My Wife Won't Let Me) - Vesta VIctoria

I'm in a nice bit of trouble I confess;

Somebody with me has had a game

I should by now be a proud and happy bride

But I've still got to keep my single name

I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks

In a very gentlemanly way

Lent him all my money so that he could buy a home

And punctually at twelve o'clock today

There was I waiting at the church

Waiting at the church

Waiting at the church

When I found he'd left me in the lurch

Lor how it did upset me

All at once he sent me round a note

Here's the very note

This is what he wrote

Can't get away to marry you today

My wife won't let me

There was I waiting at the church

Waiting at the church

Waiting at the church

When I found he'd left me in the lurch

Lor how it did upset me

All at once he sent me round a note

Here's the very note

This is what he wrote:

Can't get away to marry you today

My wife won't let me
