	a woman would he singing that and, they'd say} €0h, sing something else, for there's no truth in that' Songs that women makes up about men, about their husbands and about their sweethearts and things like that, they think that we've given them the wrong kind of a deal and it's not justice and it's not right and they protest and everly have as far back as I can remember." —Aunt Molly Jackson. MARRIED ME A WIFE e. No. 648. Ace. on guitar and sung by Gant family, Austin, Texas, 1936.
	1   Married me a wife in the month of June, Rissolty, rassolty, row, row, row, I carried her home in a silver spoon, Hey, gee-wallity, nickety-nollity, rest of your quality, Nickety, nackety, now, now, now. 2   She combed her hair but once a week, She says that combs are all too cheap. 3   She sweeps the floor but once a year, She says that brooms are all too dear. 4  She churns her milk in the old man's boot, For the sake of a dasher she uses her foot. 5   The butter is made of old grizzly gray, The milk takes legs and walks away.
