I DON'T WANT TO THROW RICE
(Dolly Parton / Bill Owens)


Dolly Parton - 1967





She married the one I love today
When my back was turned she took him away
Now while they're all outside waiting to throw rice
What I want to throw will surely black her eyes

'Cause I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love I had
No, I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 
'Cause she hurt me so bad

(Instrumental Break)

Well, I've never stole nothin' in my life
But if I get the chance I'll steal him from his wife
'Cause all is fair in love and war, maybe I'm carrying this too far
But I feel like tying dynamite to her side of the car

No, I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
She took the only love I had
No, I don't want to throw rice
I want to throw rocks at her
It would be a way to hurt her 
'Cause she hurt me so bad
