lyrics

Come all of you young fellows and listen what I say,
The day that I got married, I swore my life away.

Now she’s over in Europe and I certainly wish her well.
I can drink my whiskey and she can go to...
I’m glad my wife’s in Europe and she can’t get back to me.
If she gets back from Europe, going have to swim the sea.
I’m glad my wife’s in Europe and she can’t get back to me.

While she’s over in Europe and I certainly wish her well.
I can drink good whiskey, and she can go to...
I’m glad my wife’s in Europe and she can’t get back to me.
