To the carpenter said the dainty bride
Th e grass appears greener on the other side
So let's clarify before we unite
The grass is never greener on the other side

To the carpenter said the dainty bride
I pledge to you my love tonight
But I will not hesitate to euthanise
If the grass becomes greener on the other side

Said the carpenter to the dainty bride
I would never do a thing to jeapardise
This union I consider a prize
Grass will never be greener on the other side

To the preacher man said the dainty wife
He thought the grass was greener on the other side
So I buried in his belly my butcher knife
And ended these years of wretched strife

Said the preacher man to the guilty wife
Though the law may give you twenty years to life
Pray forgiveness in the Father's eyes
And the grass may just be greener on the other side
