I Married You For Love Lyrics - Jean Shepard

I was counting all my riches as I stared along today 

Call myself the lucky one though not a penny could I pay 

You placed the ring on my hand mother nature's smiled above 

You gave me your heart I gave you mine I married you for love 

A mansion on a hilltop wouldn't mean a thing to me 

I'd never step inside it dear if you're not there with me 

I worry so if you're not by my side it's you I'm thinking of 

I want you more than life itself I married you for love 

[ fiddle - piano - guitar ] 

A mansion on a hilltop...
