Not Married Yet - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
NOT MARRIED YET! 
I'm single yet! I'm single yet! And years have flown since I came out; In vain I sigh! in vain I fret! Ye gods! what are the men about? I vow I'm twenty, oh, ye powers! A spinster's lot is hard to bear; On earth alone to spend her hours, And afterward lead apes down there. 
No offer yet! No offer yet! I'm puzzled quite to make it out: For every beau my cap I set; What, what, what are the men about? They don't propose! they won't propose! For fear perhaps I'd not say "Yes;" Just let them try-for heaven knows, I'm tired of single blessedness. 
Not married yet! not married yet! The deuce is in the men I fear; I'm like a something to be let, And to be let alone; that's clear. They say: "She's pretty, but no chink," And love without it runs in debt; It agitates my nerves to think That I have had no offer yet
