Married By the Bible, Divorced By the Law

(Johnny Rector - Neva Starns - Pee Wee Thueritt)



What a strange world we live in, what a shame, oh what a shame

Someone's always quarrelin', then 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

Everyday there's more and more, the worst 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 divorce by the law.



Steps are often taken without thinking twice

And oft times a child or two's who 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

Everyday there's more and more, the worst 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 divorce by the law.
