It's Hard To Tell The Married From The Free Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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
