Emmylou Harris - You Never CanTell (C'est la vie)'1977

It was a teenage wedding 

And the old folks wished them well 

You could see that Pierre 

Did truly love the mademoiselle 

And now the young monsieur and madame 

Have rung the chapel bell 

"C'est la vie", say the old folks 

It goes to slow you never can tell 

They furnished off an apartment 

With a two room Roebuck sale 

The coolerator was crammed 

With T.V. dimmers and ginger ale 

But when Pierre found work 

The little money comin' worked out well 

"C'est la vie", say the old folks 

It goes to show you never can tell
