It's Hard To Tell The Married From The Free
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Written by Don Helms and Gene Jackson

C                          G7
Today so many men are so unfaithful
                                          C
Upon their hands no wedding bands they'll wear
                                             F
But that don't mean that they're not tied to someone
               G7                 C
Whose heart is broken by each new affair

     G7                    C
They say they go out for a past time
   G7                               C
No harm is done if they get home by three
                                        F
But someone hopes each time will be the last time
             G7                        C
It's hard to tell the married from the free

                                      G7
You'll see them in the crowd at every party
                                      C
And from the way they dance and carry on
                                      F
It's hard to tell the ones who may be single
         G7                       C
From the ones who have someone at home

    G7                               C
His lips that you may think are so inviting
G7                              C
May belong to someone just like me
                                      F
But can you guess the truth he may be hiding
             G7                        C
It's hard to tell the married from the free
