| Lyrics: | I"LL NOT MARRY AT ALL
I'm determined to live an old maid
I'll take my stool and sit
in the shade
And I'll not marry at all, at all
And I'll not marry at
all.
Oh, I'll not marry a man who'd rich
For he'll get drunk and fall in a
ditch.
And I'll not marry at all, at all
And I'll not marry at
all.
Oh, I'll not marry a man who's poor
For he'll go begging from door to
door.
And I'll not marry at all, at all
And I'll not marry at
all.
Oh, I'll not marry a man who chews
Or he'll go slobbering from chin to
shoes.
And I'll not marry at all, at all
And I'll not marry at
all.
Oh, I'll not marry a man who smokes
For that would not please the old
folks
And I'll not marry at all, at all
And I'll not marry at
all.
Yes, I'm determined to live an old maid
I'll take my stool and sit in the
shade
And I'll not marry at all, at all
And I'll not marry at
all.
