I Married Her for Her Money (She Married Me for My Lies)

My 6th RPM song for Sailor Martin. A close harmony country song about love and deception.

LYRICS:

She had a diamond ring
And ivory colored thighs
I married her for her money
She married me for my lies
I had deceived her
But she had lied to me
She had no money she had no money
She had no money at all

She told me tales of bonds
She flashed a smile of gold
But on our wedding night
There wasn't a thing she could fold
I had said bad things
But she had told me worse
She had no money she had no money
She had no money at all

I had lied of great things
Wonderful places we would see
But how the hell could we travel
With her imaginary money
What's the point of divorce
When you don't get a thing
She had no money she had no money
She had no money at all

Sounds like an Astro Zombie / Sailor Martin duet! I love the sound of the uke on this one.

It is a duet! Actually, it gets sort of choral.
