Gentlemen, we have been invited to start our own song circle. I propose songs involving whiskey/whisky (Scotch, Bourbon, Rye or Irish, neat or with spring water), tobacco (especially foul cheap cigars, smoked in bed), and the life of the single man.

No beating of New Age drums and yelling "ho!", of course, as such activities were not known to our manly forefathers who could drink a gallon of rum and slay a pod of whales before having their first pipe of the day. We beat nothing but our chests.

Tom Waits "All My Friends Are Married", while not a folk song, would certainly be a good fit for our songbook. I'd post "Bachelor's Hall", but of course, I've had too many martinis to remember the lyrics.
