It'll Aggregate Your Soul - The Carter Family

Come all of you people take warning from me

Don’t take no girl to Tennessee

For if you get married and don’t agree

It’ll aggravate your soul

We left Maces early in the night

Expect to get married before daylight

So many things happened to hinder our flight

It aggravated my soul

Arrived at The Bristol at 11 o’clock

The parson was there right on the spot

We found that the license had been forgot

It aggravated my soul

We went for the license in an automobile

Run so fast couldn’t see the wheel

No on can explain how bad I did feel

It aggravated my soul

We stayed all night at The Bristol Hotel

Just to make folks think we were swell

Next morning they put it in the Bristol Herald

It aggravated my soul

And when the new style books coming around

She begin’s to get ready to go to town

You know right then she’s milliner shop bound

It’ll aggravate your soul

She wants a new coat and a hobble skirt

And you can’t get in for the young gun’s and dirt

And when she gets out, oh how she will flirt

It’ll aggravate your soul

And when the person gather round your head

You’ll think of what your dear old mother said

With a pain in you back and heart and head

It’ll aggravate your soul

Now young men take warning from me

Don’t take no girl to Tennessee

For if you get married and don’t agree

It’ll aggravate your soul
