Nobody's Wedding Lyrics - Richard Thompson

Everybody came to nobody's wedding 

Everybody knew it was bound to be a hoot 

What can you do when nothing else is cooking 

You make your own amusement, bring a pile of loot 

There was Alice the butcher, Tidy and Gunn 

Who couldn? t see where they were heading 

It was sixteen days and sixteen nights 

And it weren? t even nobody? s wedding 

"What a great reception", all the people cried 

Who stole the groom and who stole the bride 

How did the countess slide underneath the door 

Why is the wild boy chopping up the floor?

There was Alice the butcher, Tidy and Gunn 

Who couldn? t see where they were heading 

It was sixteen days and sixteen nights 

And it weren? t even nobody? s wedding 

I didn? t hear the sound of the tin cans rattle 

I didn? t hear a teardrop, I didn? t hear a prattle 

Didn? t hear the words of the bible being read 

When it? s nobody? s wedding, nobody? s wed
