Big Chance(Album Version) - Patty Loveless

Well there's a boy down Shelby Gap
And I like sittin' on his lap
I'm his gal and he's my man
We been makin' weddin' plans
Brought him home to meet my ma
She raised Cain and dropped her jaw
Girl you're crazy as a bat
You ain't gonna marry that
Looka here mama looka here daddy
This is my true love we're gonna get married
Ain't a gonna hem-haw ain't a gonna tarry
This is my big chance we're gonna get married
Oh mama daddy can't you see
Holler's closin' in on me
Cousins pourin' down like rain
They're runnin' out of given names
It's so crowded I can't breathe
You need one less mouth to feed
Forty dozen here at home
You won't miss me when I 'm gone
Looka here mama looka here daddy
This is my true love we're gonna get married
Ain't a gonna hem-haw ain't a gonna tarry
This is my big chance we're gonna get married
Oh he's the prettiest in these hills
I don't hitch him some gal will
You just messed up my big chance
For married bliss and true romance
Two things y'all don't realize
Shelby boys is mighty shy
And courtin' life is extra hard
If I can't keep 'em in the yard
Oh another one gone
