THE OLD MAID
1
I won't marry a man that's tall,
The little old dumplings are worse than all;
Oh, I won't marry at all, at all,
Oh, I won't marry at all.
For I'm determined to live an old maid,
Pd rather stay single and lie in the shade,
Oh, I won't marry a man that's tall,
Oh, I won't marry at all.
2
I-won't marry a man that's thin,
Nor the little fat man who's easy to win,
Oh, I won't marry at all, at all,
Oh, I won't marry at all.
For I'm determined to live an old maid,
I 'd rather stay single and lie in the shade,
Oh, I won't marry a man that's thin,
Oh, I won't marry at all.
3
I won't marry a man that's poor,
For he'll go begging from door to door,
Oh, I won't marry at all, at all,
Oh, I won't marry at all.
For I'm determined to live an old maid,
I'd rather stay single and lie in the shade,
Oh, I won't marry a man that's poor,
Oh, I won't marry at all.
