Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yippee yay
There'll be no wedding bells for today
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go riding merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
[Verse 2]
Oh, Lillie Belle (Oh, Lillie Belle)
Oh, Lillie Belle (Oh, Lillie Belle)
Though I may have done some foolin'
This is why I never fell (Why I never fell)
[Verse 3]
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
[Verse 4]
Oh, Mary Ann (Oh, Mary Ann)
Oh, Mary Ann (Oh, Mary Ann)
Though I done some moonlight walkin'
This is why I up and ran (Why I up and ran)
[Verse 5]
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
(I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle)
As I go ridin' merrily along
(As I go ridin' merrily along)
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
(And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single")
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
(And that song ain't so very far from wrong)
[Verse 6]
Oh, Sally Jane (Oh, Sally Jane)
Oh, Sally Jane (Oh, Sally Jane)
Though I'd love to stay forever, this is why I can't remain (Why I can't remain)
[Verse 7]
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
(I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle)
As I go ridin' merrily along
(As I go ridin' merrily along)
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
(And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single")
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
(And that song ain't so very far from wrong)
[Verse 8]
Oh, Bessie Lou (Oh, Bessie Lou)
Oh, Bessie Lou (Oh, Bessie Lou)
Though we've done a heap of dreamin', this why it won't come true (Why it won't come true)
[Verse 9]
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin' merrily along
And they sing, "Oh, ain't you glad you're single"
And that song ain't so very far from wrong
So I'll go jingling, a jangling, a jingling along
Yippee yay
