It's Hard to Tell the Married from the Free

Today so many men are so unfaithfull

Upon their hands no wedding bands they wear

But that don't mean that they're not tied to someone

Whose heart is broken by each new affair

They say they go out for a past time no harm is done if they get home by three

But someone hopes each time will be the last time

It's hard to tell the married from the free

[ fiddle - piano - guitar ]

You'll see them in the crowd at every party

And from the way they dance and carry on

It's hard to tell the ones who may be single

From the ones who have someone at home

His lips that you may think are so inviting maybe long to someone just like me

But can you guess the truth he may be hiding

It's hard to tell the married from the free
