Artist/Band: Hank Williams Jr.
Lyrics for Song: I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die
Lyrics for Album: Hank Williams/hank Williams Jr. Again [1966]



I'll take you to the picture show and, babe, I'll hold your hand

I'll sit up in your parlor, let you cool me with your fan

I'll listen to your troubles and pet you when you cry

But get that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die



I done my honky tonkin' 'round if that will bring you fun

But somehow, I can't understand how one and one makes one

I like to cuddle near you and listen to you lie

But get that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die



Now, if you want a help, mate, you're just wasting lots of time

'Cause I'm afraid of church bells, how they scare me when they chime

I've seen those married people just up and say goodbye

So keep that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die



This freedom's mighty precious in this land of liberty

I've seen what matrimony done to better men than me

I don't mind keepin' company with the apple of my eye

But keep that marryin' out of your head, I'll be a bachelor till I die


I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die

Hank Williams Jr.'s 'I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die' stands as a defining anthem of the outlaw country movement, capturing the restless spirit of a man who refused to be tamed by convention. Recorded during the mid-1960s, the track blends traditional country storytelling with the raw, blues-inflected energy that would characterize the rest of his career. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who finds freedom in solitude and rejects the pressures of marriage and societal expectations. It serves as a powerful declaration of independence, echoing the themes found in other seminal works by the artist while establishing a sonic template that influenced generations of musicians. The recording captures the intensity of the era, showcasing Williams Jr.'s ability to fuse folk roots with a modern, rebellious edge that became his signature.
