Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Once I courted a pretty fair maid
And she was handsome, tall and young
Until at length I did discover
That she had a false and flattering tongue
If I had have loved her, foolish would I be
But love will never never conquer me
[Verse 2]
No, nor anyone will me control
Or keep me from my flowing bowl
When I am single, single I am free
Love will never never conquer me
[Verse 3]
Perhaps some day I'll get some riches
And I might have to take a wife
But we would fight for the old britches
And she would lead a terrible life
But, boys, no, this never could be
For love will never never conquer me
[Verse 4]
No, nor anyone will me control
Or keep me from my flowing bowl
When I am single, single I am free
Love will never, never conquer me
[Verse 5]
Perhaps some day I'll take a notion
And I might cross the ocean wave
To where I could die without emotion
And these last words put above my grave
[Verse 6]
"Here lies a youth who never was tied
To any auld nag or scolding bride"
For when I am single, single I am free
And love will never never conquer me
[Verse 7]
Ah, no, nor anyone will me control
Or keep me from my flowing bowl
When I am single, single I am free
And love will never, never conquer me
