I'll Marry No Man If He Drinks - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
I'll Marry No Man If He Drinks. 
I know I may be an old maid, May live and may die all forlorn, Of that I am not much afraid, For that I suppose I was born; But one thing I know well enough, No matter what anyone thinks. Although you may call it all stuff, I'll marry no man if he drinks. 
I see my friends wed every day, To husbands so good and so kind, They make splendid matches they say, I think that their wives must be blind; For Harry and Alfred are men Who stagger and groan like a sphinx, And so I repeat it again, I'll marry no man if he drinks. 
No matter how poor I may be, No drunkard's home e'er can be mine, Cold water the one draught for me I never will drink of the wine; And maidens, be cautious and wise, No matter what Miss Grundy thinks, Old topers and tipplers despise, And marry no man if he drinks.
