Текст песни Common-Law Love

What makes a mother have to cry all day Since her daughter moved away? And what makes papa interrupt her prayers So he can put a curse on the boy he swears? Common-law love Common-law love Napoleonic Code come to push or shove And baby's shacking up in common-law love What makes a family cringe and groan Whenever they hear that pesky phone? And what turns a neighbor to a so-called friend? And what turns a whisper to a raging wind? Common-law love Common-law love Napoleonic Code come to push or shove And baby's shacking up in common-law love Spicy as a kitchen in a gossiping home Hotter than a party line dial tone What's all the rumble and the tumble about The older generation hollers and shouts: Common-law love Common-law love Napoleonic Code come to push or shove And baby's shacking up in common-law love Common-law love Common-law love Spread across the parish like a fever does Young people falling into common law love
