Verse 3 [chords as per verse 1]:

      By the side of the married man
      'Tis the lady who shares his life
      You help the bride of the married man
      By removing the husband's strife
      Every wife who's truthful
      Who treasures married bliss
      Must keep her husband youthful
      What better way than this?
