Joe Williams - Safe, Sane and Single lyrics

A woman is the sweetest thing On that we all agree But when she gets the wedding band A man's no longer free [Chorus] That's why I'm safe, sane and single I'm on my merry way Yes, I'm safe, sane and single That's how I'm gonna stay A wife and husband came upon The parting of their ways The judge gave her the bank account And gave him ninety days [Chorus] A friend of mine got married To a gal named Nellie Gray She pawned his watch, then sold his car And gave his clothes away [Chorus] I met a gal in Birmingham And thereby hangs a tale She had a husband doing time Another out on bail [Chorus] Ha, ha, ha, I got one I courted a gal for fifteen years Her Pa said we should wed If my horse could only cook I'd marry him instead [Chorus] Thank God I'm safe Thank God I'm safe Yes, I'm safe, sane and single That's how I'm gonna stay Thank God I'm safe Thank God I'm safe Yes, I'm safe, sane and single That's how I'm gonna stay Thank God I'm safe Thank God I'm safe Yes, I'm safe, sane and single That's how I'm gonna stay Now, you got that?
