She Was Happy Till She Met You Lyrics - Hank Snow

On a bright and sunny day when a young wife ran away 

From a husband who had filled her heart with pain 

On the table laid a note these simple words she wrote 

Goodbye I hope we'll never meet again 

To her mother she returned for her old home she had yearned 

For all the love she had for him had fled 

But he sought her out at last with repentance for the past 

But her mother met him in the door and said 

She was happy till she met you the fault is all your own 

Id she wishes to forget you please leave her alone 

She has come to her old mother because there is no other 

She'll be happy in her home sweet home 

[ fiddle - ac.guitar ] 

I have come to say goodbye said the husband with a sigh 

Just let me take her to my heart again 

Says the mother it's too late all her love has turned to hate 

So go your way your pleading's are in vain 

She's my wife the husband cried you can't take her from my side 

The law forbids you part us we are wed 

But the mother answered nay and sadly turned away 

And once again to him she calmly said 

She was happy till she met you...
