Gracie let me help you wipe the counter
There's empty ketchup bottles to replace
I washed my hands with gojo when i got here
Big John and I repaired the transfer case

It was hot at the garage, how were your tables?
When you're done then we can sit and share a fry
John told me that i ought to get a bonus
Ain't the lotto but a sweeter slice of pie

Did you ask your mom and dad like you were planning?
You can tell me while we take an evening spin
I'll drive you anywhere in this jalopy
We can talk until the saints go marching in

Did you show them all the wages I been saving?
I could sell the truck and work another shift
Of course I know I need your father's blessing
A word from you could give my heart a lift

So your mother gave your dad an ultimatum
When he was just a poor and reckless kid
But you're not her, the two of us are special
We don't need to bicker like they did

Imagine how we'd look in early summer
Surrounded by our friends and loving kin
I will buy the ring just like you showed me
You can wear it till the saints go marching in

Lots of poor folks find a way together
Aren't diners and garages honest sweat?
We can roll a punch into a blessing
It's that kind of love that money just can't get

I know I could manage to support you
Instead of us just living here in sin
I'll work in the grease pit
So you can be a mother
Forever while the saints go marching in

John I gotta talk to you bout something
I'm giving you my notice, though you been good and fair
I signed up to become a merchant sailor
Where I'm going I don't know or care

I was working for the life she said she wanted
But now that I'm alone I'm wearing thin
I hope someday she'll see
My love was always free
Always
Until the saints go marching
Saints go marching
Saints go marching
Till the saints go marching in
