Married by the Bible, Divorced by the Law lyrics

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

Every day 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 divorced by the law

Steps are often taken

Without thinking twice

And oft-times there's a child or two

Who's left to pay the price

Those little hearts, so innocent

They don't know who's to blame

No Mom and a Dad to love them

What a shame, oh, what a shame

"Married by the Bible

And divorced by the law

Every day 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

And no divorced by the law"

Married by the Bible

Divorced by the law

Every day 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 divorced by the law
