I Don't Want To Get Married Songtext
von Poplin Family

I was born in Kentucky
Lived there all of my life
I was very lucky
Never had a wife
I once thought I'd get married
I asked a little girl to wed
But when I asked her to marry me
This is what she said

I don't wanna get married
Always wanna be free
I don't love nobody
Nobody loves me
All they want is my money
They don't care for me
I don't wanna get married
I just wanna be free


Then I started to ramble
Stopped in Tennessee
Met a pretty little maiden
I thought she cared for me
I built a cute little cottage
And planned a day to wed
But when I asked her to marry me
This is what she said

I don't wanna get married
Don't want to settle down
Ramble all over this country
Go from town to town
I don't love nobody
Ain't nobody loves me
I don't want to get married
I just wanna be free

Once again I traveled
This time headed west
I found the life of a bachelor
The one I love the best
I met a gal in Santa Fe
Who wanted me to wed
But when she asked me to marry her
This is what I said


I don't want to get married
Always wanna be free
I don't love nobody
Always wanna be free
All they want is my money
They don't care for me
I don't wanna get married
I just wanna be free
