Possession Is Nine-tenths Of The Law Lyrics - Jean Shepard

You love her I know but I won't let you go I just won't step by all the way 

Cause you're married to me and I won't set you free 

Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say 

I'll keep you as long as I possibly can you were mine before she came our way 

I refused to abide and I won't step aside 

Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say 

Forgive me for bein' so selfish but for me there's just no other way 

I just want to hold arms do what's rightfully mine 

Possession is nine-tenths of the law so they say 

[ ac.guitar + steel ] 

Forgive me for being so selfish...
