What a strange world we live in what a shame oh what a shame   Someone's always quarrelin' then marriage don't remain   Divorces by the thousands is this human race insane   I always thought that marriage should be a sacred thing      Married by the Bible divorced by the law   Everyday there's more and more the worst I ever saw   Things have changed they're not the same as the days of ma and pa   They were married by the Bible no divorced by the law      Steps are often taken without thinking twice   And oft times a child or two who left to pay the price   Those little hearts so innocent they don't know who's to blame   No mom and dad to love them what a shame oh what a shame   Married by the Bible...   Married by the Bible...
