Randy Newman
A Wedding in Cherokee County
[Verse 1]
There she is sittin' there
Out behind the smokehouse in her rocking chair
She don't say nothin'
She don't do nothin'
She don't feel nothin'
She don't know nothin'

[Refrain]
Maybe she's crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so

[Verse 2]
Her papa was a midget, her mama was a whore
Her granddad was a newsboy 'til he was eighty-four
What a slimy old bastard he was
Man, don't you think I know she hates me?
Man, don't you think I know that she's no good?
If she knew how, she'd be unfaithful to me
I think she'd kill me if she could

[Refrain]
Maybe she's crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so

[Bridge]
I'm not afraid of the gray wolf
Who stalks through our forest at dawn
As long as I have her beside me
I have the strength to carry on
[Verse 3]
Today we will be married
And all the freaks that she knows will be there
And all the people from the village will be there
To congratulate us
I will carry her across the threshold
And I will make dim the light
And I will attempt to spend my love within her
Though I try with all my might
She will laugh at my mighty sword
She will laugh at my mighty sword
Why must everybody laugh at my mighty sword?
Lord, help me if you will

[Refrain]
Maybe we're both crazy, I don't know
Maybe that's why I love her so
