Tessie's Wedding Gown

Oh who spit tobaccer on Tessie's wedding gown
It must have been that Martin boy cause Tessie turned him down
The choir was singing pretty and there stood Parson Brown
When someone spit tobbacer on Tessie's wedding gown

Chorus:
Oh the old organ played in the twilight
In the evening as the sun was going down
Everything was quiet, you couldn't hear a sound
When someone spit tobaccer on Tessie's wedding gown

Tessie looked so pretty in her wedding gown
He aimed it fair and hit her square, poor Tessie liked to drown
That Martin boy, he did it, he's the meanest one in town
I know who spit tobaccer on Tessie's wedding gown

Chorus:
Oh Ma and Pa and kinfolk all are cryin
That's why they didn't hear that spit a flyin
The boys are sure to get him, they'll hang him upside down
Because he spit tobaccer, On Tessie's wedding gown

They found him behind the curtain, he was grinning from ear to ear
They pulled his arms behind him and tied him to a chair
The boys all set beside him and there they kept him bound
So he couldn't spit tobaccer on Tessie's wedding gown

Chorus:
Gramma got the lye soap and some water
She scrubbed on Tessie's gown at the alter
The wedding made the headlines, 'twas the talk of the town
When someone spit tobaccer juice on Tessies wedding gown.
