Aileen Stanley – Waiting at the Church

Aileen Stanley – Waiting at the Church Lyrics

Artist: Aileen Stanley
Song: Waiting at the Church

I’m in a nice bit of trouble, I confess
Somebody with me has had a game
I should by now be a happy, happy bride
But I still got to keep my single days

I was proposed to by Obadiah Binks
In a very gentlemanly way
Lent him all my money so that he could buy the home
And punctually at twelve o’clock today

There was I waiting at the church
Waiting at the church
Waiting at the church
When I found he left me in the lurch

Oh, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me ’round the note
Here’s the very note
This is what he wrote:

“I can’t get away to marry you today
My wife won’t let me”
Just think of how disappointed I must feel
I’ll be going crazy very soon

I’ve lost my husband, the one I never had
And I grieve so about my honeydew
I’m looking out for another Obadiah
I’ve already bought the wedding ring

There’s all my life {?} packed up in my box
Yes, absolutely two of eveything
There was I waiting at the church
Waiting at the church

Waiting at the church
When I found he left me in the lurch
Oh, how it did upset me!
All at once, he sent me ’round the note

Here’s the very note
This is what he wrote:
“I can’t get away to marry you today
My wife won’t let me”
