There's More Pretty Girls Than One

Hank Locklin · The Girls Get Prettier [1966]

(Alton Delmore - Arthur Smith)

There's more pretty girls than one

There's more pretty girls than one

Every town I ramble around

There's more pretty girls than one.

Well, I am a rambling man

I done roam this world around

I've always been a rounder boy

Since my girl turned me down.

There's more pretty girls than one

There's more pretty girls than one

Every town I ramble around

There's more pretty girls than one.

--- Instrumental ---

Now listen all you rounders

lLet me tell you what you'd do

Don't fall in love with a pretty little girl

Unless you know she's true.

There's more pretty girls than one

There's more pretty girls than one

Every town I ramble around

There's more pretty girls than one...

There's More Pretty Girls Than One
