Echoes of Spring :: :: University of Virginia Library

I care not, said the bachelor old,
I've made no vows to hold me;
I simply tote my hard earned gold,
And have no wife to scold me.

I've lived a placid life for years,
Sunshine and gloom commingle;
My cares are small, my wants are few;
No one to please when single!

No chaps to worry me through life,
With walks my heart to tingle;
I have no wife nor fam'ly strife,
Thank God that I am single!
