Mrs. Jones Your Daughter Cried All Night - Bobby Bare, T.T. Hall

I bought a ring and gave it to your daughter Mrs Jones

She promised me that she would be my wife

But after she had talked to you she gave me back my ring

Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night

Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night you wouldn’t give your blessings to our

love

You said she should stop seeing me and maybe you are right

But Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night

Mrs Jones some day some man may bring your daughter wealth

And all the things that I could never buy

But Mrs Jones we love each other and wealth won’t buy a love

And I guess that’s why your daughter cried all night

Oh how I wish that I could be the man

Who has the wealth to win your daughter’s hand

You know her life is in your hands and you hold on so tight

Mrs Jones your daughter cried all night

Mrs Jones your daughter…
