the carpenter and the dainty bride

to the carpenter and the dainty bride

the grass appears greener on the other side

so let's clarify before we unite

that the grass in 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 euthanize

if the grass becomes greener on the other side

said the carpenter to the dainty bride

i would never do a thing to jeopardize

this union i consider prize

grass never will 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 just may be greener on the other side
