Life Has Its Little Ups And Downs Lyrics - Saturday Night / Sunday Morning - Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives

Don't know how to tell her 

I didn't get that raise in pay today 

And I know how much she wanted 

The dress in Baker's window 

It breaks my heart to see her have to wait 

And cancel all the plans she made to celebrate 

But I can count on her to take it 

With a smile and not a frown 

She knows that life has its little ups and downs 

Like ponies on a merry-ground 

And no one grabs the brass ring every time 

But she don't mind 

She wears a gold ring on her finger 

And it's mine 

New house plans we've had so long 

I guess will gather dust another year 

And the daffodils are blooming 

That she planted way last fall upon the hill 

And over by the gate 

Lord knows I hate to say again we'll have to wait 

But you can bet she'll just take it 

With a smile and not a frown 

She knows that life has its little ups and downs 

Like ponies on a merry-go-round 

And no one grabs the brass ring every time 

But she don't mind 

Oh baby don't mind 

She wears a gold ring on her finger 

I'm so glad that it's mine 

She wears a gold ring on her finger 

And I'm so glad that it's mine
