Subject: White Trash Wedding by The Dixie Chicks

WHITE TRASH WEDDING
Written by:   Emily Robison, Martie MacGuire, & Natalie Maines
Performed by: Dixie Chicks
Album:        Home (Open Wide/Monument/Columbia)2002
Submitted by: jdkennedy77@aol.com
Notes: First line is slow acapella.  Kick in full tempo on    
       second line.  After fiddle break/brige, tempo slows 
       for "Baby's on its way" lines, then back to tempo on 
       "Say I do."  I'm not sure the bridge is right.
