Hank Snow - She Was Happy Till She Met You Lyrics

On a bright and sunny day when a young wife ran away

From a husband who had filled her heart with pain

On the table laid a note these simple words she wrote

Goodbye I hope we'll never meet again

To her mother she returned for her old home she had yearned

For all the love she had for him had pled

But he sought her out at last with her partners for the past

But her mother met him in the door and said

She was happy till she met you the fault is all your own

Id she wishes to forget you please leave her alone

She has come to her old mother because there is no other

She'll be happy in her home sweet home

[ fiddle - ac.guitar ]

I have come to say goodbye said the husband with a sigh

Just let me take her to my heart again

Says the mother it's too late all her love has turned to hate

So go your way your pleading heart's in vain

She's my wife the husband cried you can't take her from my side

The love I bet you part us we are wed

But the mother answered nay and sadly turned away

And once again to him she calmly said

She was happy till she met you...
