2. A wife and husband came upon
The parting of their ways,
The judge gave her the bank account,
And gave him ninety days!
That’s why I’m safe sane and single,
That’s how I’m gonna stay.
3. A friend of mine got married
To a girl named Nellie Grey,
She pawned his watch then sold his car
And gave his clothes away!
That’s why I’m safe sane and single,
And that’s how I’m gonna stay.
4. I met a gal in Birmingham
And thereby hangs a tale,
She had a husband doing time,
Another out on bail!
That’s why I’m safe sane and single,
That’s how I’m gonna stay.
5. I courted a gal for fifteen years,
Her Pa said we should wed,
If my horse could only cook,
I’d marry him instead!
That’s why I’m safe sane and single
That’s how I’m gonna stay.
