[Verse]

A
Wife number one was Annabelle Jones

A red-haired beauty

Mostly skin and bones
D
She liked to play the ponies

I met her at the track
A
When I hit the pick six

I forgot to go back
A
Bride number two was Pretty McGee

She loved the outdoors and

She sure loved me
D
We married on a mountain

That was covered in snow
A
When the weather cleared up

It was time to go

[Verse 2]

A
Wives three and four

Were identical twins

They were from the Twin Cities

Named Lucy and Lynne
D
I wed one in Spring

And one in Fall
A
They had a sister named Lola

I loved best of all
A
Sylvia Smith was the

Fifth of the bunch

A curvy little waitress

That I met over lunch
    D
She loved to eat

But she hated to cook
    A
One night after dinner

I decided to book

[Verse 3]

A
Six seven and eight

I cherished them all

They came in medium short and tall
D
We had nothing but joy

Fun and games
A
But for the life of me now

I can't remember their names
A
The best for last

You're number nine

We walked down the aisle

And I'm walkin' the line
D
We'll last forever

This ain't no fling
A
'Course just in case

I've got an extra wedding ring
