Hank Thompson I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die lyrics

I'll take you to the picture show
And babe, I'll hold your hand
I'll sit up in your parlor
Let you cool me with your fan

I'll listen to your troubles
And pet you when you cry
But get that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die

I done my honky tonkin' round
And had a lot of fun
But somehow I can't understand
How one and one makes one

I like to cuddle near you
And listen to you lie
But get that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die

Now if you want a help mate

You're just wasting lots of time
'Cause I'm afraid of church bells
How they scare me when they chime

I've seen those married people
Just up and say goodbye
So keep that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die

This freedom's mighty precious
In this land of liberty
I've seen what matrimony's done
To better men than me

I don't mind keeping company
With the apple of my eye
But keep that marrying out of your head
I'll be a bachelor till I die
