She Was Only Seventeen
Marty Robbins
Album: The Essential Marty Robbins
C Am F G
She was only seventeen and he was one year more
C Am F G
She loved him with all her heart, and he the girl adored
C F Fm
But all their friends believed they were too young to know the score
C Am F G C
Cause she was only seventeen and he was one year more
C Am F G C
Are they old enough to know if love will last a life?
Am F G C
Isn't he too young to be a husband, her a wife?
F Fm
Within the past I bet it's happened more than once before
C Am F G C
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
C D G
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong
D G
As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong
C Am F G
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best
C Am F G
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
C F Fm
Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
C Am F G C
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
C D G
Do we have the right to question love that seems so strong
D G
As long as God has no objection, there can be no wrong
C Am F G
Let us be the first to wish them all the very best
C Am F G
Let us hope their love is strong enough to meet the test
C F Fm
Cause like I say, I bet it's happened more than once before
C Am F G C
When someone else was seventeen and another one year more
