Lyrics
Yippeeay
There’ll be no wedding bells
For today
Refrain
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin’ merrily along
And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”
And that song ain’t so very far from wrong
Oh, Lillie Belle, Oh, Lillie Belle
Lillie Belle
Though I may have done some foolin’
This is why I never fell
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin’ merrily along
And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”
And that song ain’t so very far from wrong
Oh, Mary Ann, Oh, Mary Ann
Mary Ann
Though we done some moonlight walkin’
This is why I up and ran
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin’ merrily along
And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”
And that song ain’t so very far from wrong
Oh, Sally Jane, Oh, Sally Jane
Sally Jane
Though I’d love to stay forever
This is why I can’t remain
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin’ merrily along
And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”
And that song ain’t so very far from wrong
Oh, Bessie Lou, Oh, Bessie Lou
Bessie Lou
Though we done a heap of dreamin’
This is why it won’t come true
I got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle
As I go ridin’ merrily along
And they sing, “Oh, ain’t you glad you’re single”
And that song ain’t so very far from wrong
