When she was seventeen She married a Preacher Man And she settled down In a little part of town Followed him all around Having little babies Singing in a little Church In a little ghost town
She's so happy, keeping up I don't wanna keep up, keeping up with the Jones'
Finally she told me Grandpa Dan travelled Playing on the road With Nat King Cole And he womanised Staying up all night Cruisin' up around the town From town to town to town
Why don't you be a Jones like your sister and your brother Noel When are you gonna be a Jones just like your dad God bless his soul
I've got the William's blood in me In me, running through my veins
In a room full of doves I'm waiting for the Angels Spreading my wings So I can fly Let me go I'll never change
