Ethel Waters — Aint Goin Marry Aint Goin Settle Down

[Verse] Now I ain't gonna marry, I ain't going to settle down Because the man I loved is Alabama bound And he broke my heart, just for his own sweet sake So now he wants it back again, but it's too late 'Cause he promised to be faithful until the end When I caught him makin' love to my best friend Now you know that kind of lovin' won't never do, won't never do [Chorus] Friends of mine, take my advice Been stung once? Don't get stung twice Married life is mighty sweet But a single-life person is so hard to beat Easy to say that you are man and wife But it's hard to get a pal to stick through lifе Since that right one ain't easy found I ain't gonna marry or sеttle down [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Now friends of mine, take my advice Been stung once? Don't get stung twice Married life is mighty sweet But a single-life person is so hard to beat Easy to say that you are man and wife But it's hard to get a pal to stick through life Since that right one ain't easy found I ain't gonna marry or settle down Still sayin' I ain't gonna marry or settle down
