Get A Little Table - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
GET A LITTLE TABLE. 
Some people say it's jolly To lead a single life, But I believe in marriage And the comforts of a wife, A wife's the greatest blessing If she's honest, good and true, So if you want to marry, boys, I'll tell you what to do: 
Chorus. Get a little table, get a little chair; Get a tiny little house in a little square; Get a little wife, then get a little " tin," Get a little cradle just to rock the baby in. 
A single man in lodgings Cannot have much delight, There's nobody to speak to When he sits at home at night; There's nothing to attract him, Or pass the time away, He'd quickly find the difference If he'd list to what I say-and- Chorus. 
A married man has comforts Which a single man has not, His clothes are all well mended, And his meals are always hot; Of course they may have quarrels, Just an odd one now and then, It's almost worth while falling out To make it up again.-Chorus. 
There's little use in asking A girl to marry you, Unless you have a little coin, And a home to take her to; A good wife loves to see her home Look cosy, clean and nice, So if you would be happy, boys, Why just take my advice:-Chorus.
