As recorded by Waylon Jennings & Jessi Colter (From the 1981 Album LEATHER & LACE) [Intro] E A [Verse 1]
A
It was a teenage wedding

A
And the old folks wished them well

A
You could see that Pierre

                          E
Did truly love the mademoiselle

E
And now the young monsieur and madame

E
Have rung the chapel bell

E
C'est la vie say the old folks

                              A
It goes to show you never can tell
[Verse 2]
A
They firnished off an apartment

A
With a two room Roebuck sale

A
The cooperator was crammed

                          E7
With TV dinners and gingerale

E7
But when Pierre found work

E7
The little money coming worked out well

E7
C'est la vie say the old folks

                              A
It goes to show you never can tell
[Verse 3]
A
They had a hi-fi phono

A
Boy, did they let it blast

A
Seven hundred little records

                       E7
All rocking rhythm and jazz

E7
But when the sun went down

E7
The rapid tempo of the music fell

E7
C'est la vie say the old folks

                              A
It goes to show you never can tell
[Guitar Solo] A E7 A [Verse 4]

They bought a souped up jitney

A
Twas a cherry red fifty nine

They drove down to New Orleans

To celebrate their anniversary

It was there where Pierre was
