Sister Spinster

I spied a lass, prone in the grass

Who wore a laced gown of white

But as time passed, it didn't last

Cuz she soiled it every night

The men she knew, was quite a few

She could always make them smile

But in the end, lover or friend

Wouldn't walk her down the aisle

I declare, such a sad affair

No one chose to call her wife

No chapel bells, as fate foretells

Was a spinster all her life
