She's Too Young To Marry

I brought her back to Texas, she's too young to marry I brought her back to Texas, clear from Tucumcari The sheriff said,"John Henry, you know you broke the law." The sheriff said,"John Henry, beats all I ever saw." She said,"Oh, mister sheriff, please don't take John away." She said,"Oh, mister sheriff, I love him anyway." He took me off to Huntsville put me behind barbed wire Said,"You can stay in Texas, but no kids will you sire." They say she left Texas, went back to Tucumcari Friend,don't bring her to Texas, if she's too young to marry 8/10/2017
