About this book
A bachelor's love song
Author: Slater, David Dick, 1869-1942
Year: 1910
[Verse 1] For ten long years I’ve lived alone / Without a wife to call my own / My wildest oats I’ve freely sown / And ev’ry joy in life I’ve known / all youthful folly I’ve outgrown / For time, with all my faults has flown. [Chorus] Do you think that I might marry / At the age of thirty-two? / Or shall I longer tarry? Tell me now – would you? / Do you think it’s safe to marry / At the age of thirty-two? [Verse 2] At twenty-five, my vows were sworn / To a lass as sweet as any born / My joy was like the rosy morn / Till I found I was just a passing pawn! / And since that time I’ve lived forlorn / With faith in woman all shattered and shorn. [Chorus] [Verse 3] It seems to me, it would be best / To give philosophy a rest / To put my present faith to test / and for a wife to go in quest / Love seems to warble in my breast / Like hungry birds within a nest [Chorus]
