Written and sung by hank williams



(d) I'll take you to the picture show and babe I'll hold your hand

I'll sit up in your parlorlet you cool me with your (d7) fan

I'll (g) listen to your troubles and (d) pet you when you crybut get

That marryin' out of your headI'll be a (a7) bachelor 'til I (d) die.



I don't mind honky tonkin' 'round if that will bring you fun

But somehow I can't undersdtand how one and one make one

I like to cuddle near you and listen to you lie

But get that marryin' out of your headI'll be a bachelor 'til I die.



Now if you want a helpmate you're wastin' lots of time

'cause I'm afraid of church bellshow they scare me when they chime

I've seen those married people just up and say goodbye

So get that marryin' out of your headI'll be a bachelor 'til I die.



This freedom's mighty precious in this land of liberty

I've seen what matrimony done to better men than me

I don't mind keepin' company with the apple of my eye

But keep that marryin' out of your headI'll be a bachelor 'til I die.
