Well, come all you good people and

                  listen to me,

                  Will be the ruination of most of the

                  men.

                  How happy is a man that keeps a

                  bachelor's hall

                  You can't step aside, boy, to speak

                  with a friend,

                  And your wife will grumble and your

                  children will cry.

                  Life is so sweet, boy, you better not

                  try.

                  So fill up the glass boys and drink

                  bourbon wine.

                  Live happy while single for tomorrow

                  you may die.
