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
