Words and Music by Johnny Rector
Recorded by Hank Snow
What a strange world we live in, what a shame, Oh what a shame!
Someones always quarrellin the marriage dont remain.
Divorces by the thousands; is the human race insane?
I always thought that marriage should be a sacred thing.
CHORUS
Married By The Bible Divorced By The Law;
Evry day theres more and more, the worst I ever saw.
Things have changed, theyre not the same as the days of Ma and Pa,
They were married by the Bible, no divorces by the law.
Steps are often taken without thinking twice
And oft times theres a child or two whos left to pay the price.
Those little hearts so innocent they dont know whos to blame,
No Mom and Dad to love them, what a shame, oh what a shame!
CHORUS
