For I won't marry at all, at all
For I won't marry at all

For he'll get drunk an' fall in th ditch
F'r I'll not marry at all, at all
F'r I'll not marry at all

F'r I'll not marry at all, at all
F'r I'll not marry at all

For he'll do nothin' but scold n' scold

For th slobbers will run down to his shoes
An' I'll not marry at all, at all
I'll not marry at all

So, guess I'm bound t' be an old maid
Take my stool an' I'll set in th shade
An' I'll not marry at all, at all
An' I'll not marry at all
