I'll Be a Bachelor 'til I Die

I'll Be a Bachelor 'til I Die - Hank Williams with His Drifting Cowboys

I'll take you to the picture show and babe I'll hold your hand

I'll sit up in your parlor let you cool me with your fan

I'll listen to your troubles and pet you when you cry

But get that marrying out of your head it'll be a bachelor 'til I die

I don't mind honky tonkin 'round if that will bring you fun

But somehow I can't understand how one and one make one

I like to cuddle near you and listen to you lie

But get that marrying out of your head it'll be a bachelor 'til I die

Now if you want a helpmate you're wasting lots of time

'Cause I'm afraid of church bells how they scare me when they chime

I've seen those married people just up and say goodbye

So get that marrying out of your head it'll be a bachelor 'til I die

This freedom's mighty precious in this land of liberty

I've seen what matrimony done to better men than me

I don't mind keeping company with the apple of my eye

But keep that marrying out of your head it'll be a bachelor 'til I die
