She Was Only Seventeen:Marty Robbins.
#27 on BB Hot 100 on COLUMBIA Records
in 1958.
INTRO:
Seventeen..wah-ooo-wah-ooo..and he was one year more.
Seventeen..wah-ooo-wah-ooo..and he, the girl, adored.
#1.
She was only seventeen and he was one year more.
She loved him with all her heart and he, the girl
adored.
But all their friends believed they were too young
to know the score..
cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more.
#2.
Are they old enough to know if love will last for life?
Isn t he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
Within the past I bet it s happened more than once before.
When someone else was seventeen, another, one year more.
BRIDGE:
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong?
As long as God has no objections there can be no wrong.
#3.
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best.
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test.
Cause like I say, I bet it s happened more than once before.
When someone else was seventeen, another, one year more.
