There's a girl I used to know
She was younger than the springtime
And she took my heart straight away
But one day she said, let's go
And get married a week from today
But I said, I'm not getting married,
I'm never getting married,
I've been thought an awful lot,
but a groom is what I'm not, no,
When I look into her eyes
I can see that she was crying
And oh, what a heel I had been
And I didn't realize at the
When I said, I'm not getting married,
I'm never getting married,
Cos I'm not the Marian kind.
So I packed my things that day,
Bought four places far away,
Although I'm not the Marian
Oh, well, I travel far and wide,
But I'm tired of my freedom
and went home to see how she'd been
But I've been away so long
that when I went to see her
I said, that married she'd been
And I said, I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
Cos I'm not a married man
If that girl can't be my wife,
then I'm a bachelor for life
No, I'm not the Marian kind
