I Married You for Love

Jean Shepard · The Melody Ranch Girl [Bear Family (Germany)] [1996]

(Jack Rhodes)



I was counting all my riches as I stared along today

Call myself the lucky one though not a penny could I pay

You placed the ring on my hand mother nature's smiled above

You gave me your heart I gave you mine I married you for love.



A mansion on a hilltop wouldn't mean a thing to me

I'd never step inside it dear if you're not there with me

I worry so if you're not by my side it's you I'm thinking of

I want you more than life itself I married you for love.
