There's a girl I used to know
She was younger than the springtime
And she took my heart clean away
But one day she said, "Let's go
We can buy a silver ring
And get married a week from today"
But I said, "I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
'Cause I'm not the marrying kind"
I've been called an awful lot
But a groom is what I'm not
Oh no, I'm not the marrying kind
When I looked into her eyes
I could see that she was crying
And oh, what a heel I had been
And I didn't realize
At the time I said goodbye
Just how much my decision would mean
When I said, "I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
'Cause I'm not the marrying kind"
So I packed things that day
Bound for places far away
No, no, I'm not the marrying kind
Oh well, I traveled far and wide
But I tired of my freedom
And went home to see how she'd been
But I'd been away so long
That when I went to see to her
Her ma said that married she'd been
When I said, "I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
'Cause I'm not the marrying kind"
If that girl can't be my wife
Then I'm about your love for life
Oh no, I'm not the marrying kind
She was younger than the springtime
And she took my heart clean away
But one day she said, "Let's go
We can buy a silver ring
And get married a week from today"
But I said, "I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
'Cause I'm not the marrying kind"
I've been called an awful lot
But a groom is what I'm not
Oh no, I'm not the marrying kind
When I looked into her eyes
I could see that she was crying
And oh, what a heel I had been
And I didn't realize
At the time I said goodbye
Just how much my decision would mean
When I said, "I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
'Cause I'm not the marrying kind"
So I packed things that day
Bound for places far away
No, no, I'm not the marrying kind
Oh well, I traveled far and wide
But I tired of my freedom
And went home to see how she'd been
But I'd been away so long
That when I went to see to her
Her ma said that married she'd been
When I said, "I'm not getting married
I'm never getting married
'Cause I'm not the marrying kind"
If that girl can't be my wife
Then I'm about your love for life
Oh no, I'm not the marrying kind
