Bless Yore Beautiful Hide (From "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers")

Bless yore beautiful hide

Wherever you may be

We ain't met yet but I'm a'willin' to bet

You're the gal for me

Bless yore beautiful hide

You're just as good as lost

I don't know your name but I'm a'stakin' my claim

Lest yore eyes is crossed

Oh, I'd swap my gun 'n' I'd swap my mule

Though whoever took it would be one big fool

Or pay yore way through cookin' school

If 'n' you would say, "I do"

Bless yore beautiful hide

Prepare to bend yore knee

And take that vow 'cause I'm a'telling you now

You're the gal for me

Pretty and trim but kinda slim

Heavenly eyes

But, oh, that size

She's gotta be right, to be the bride for me

Bless yore beautiful hide

Wherever you may be

Pretty and trim but not too slim

Heavenly eyes, and just the right size

Simple and sweet

And sassy as can be

Bless her beautiful hide

Yes, she's the girl for me
