The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
