Lyrics
Chorus
I just met the fellow that married the girl
That I was going to get
He looked at me indignantly
For he was the dummy that I was to be
I shook him by the hand
Said, “Welcome to our land”
The noble hero that married the girl
That I was going to get
Chorus
I just met the fellow that married the girl
That I was going to get
He has six kids and maybe nine
Goodness gracious, they might have been mine
So let us give three cheers
For the noble volunteer
The noble hero that married the girl
That I was going to get
