Folk & Traditional Song Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk I'll Not Marry at All 
I'll Not Marry at All 
I'm determined to live an old maid 
I'll take my stool and sit in the shade And I'll not marry at all, at all And I'll not marry at all. 
Oh, I'll not marry a man who'd rich 
For he'll get drunk and fall in a ditch. And I'll not marry at all, at all And I'll not marry at all. 
Oh, I'll not marry a man who's poor 
For he'll go begging from door to door. And I'll not marry at all, at all And I'll not marry at all. 
Oh, I'll not marry a man who chews 
Or he'll go slobbering from chin to shoes. And I'll not marry at all, at all And I'll not marry at all. 
Oh, I'll not marry a man who smokes 
For that would not please the old folks And I'll not marry at all, at all And I'll not marry at all. 
Yes, I'm determined to live an old maid 
I'll take my stool and sit in the shade And I'll not marry at all, at all And I'll not marry at all.
