Wedding Bell Blues Lyrics

The version of the song I am listening to has different lyrics in a way that completely changes the song for me.

I think the last verse goes:

Bill, I love you so I always will And though devotion rules my heart I take no bows Oh, Bill you're never gonna take those wedding vows Come on Bill Oh, come on Bill Come on and marry me, Bill I've got the wedding bell blues Please marry me Bill I've got the wedding bell blues Wedding bell blues Marry me Bill

The narrator seemingly loves Bill a lot, but sees the reality of her situation ("You're never gonna take those wedding vows") and has to make the best choices she can ("I take no bows").

I love how alive and swing-y this song is.
