Thread Name: Origins: More Pretty Girls Than One
Subject: Lyr Add: MORE PRETTY GIRLS THAN ONE (Highwoods...)
Here's a version from Highwoods Stringband:

MORE PRETTY GIRLS THAN ONE

My mama told me last night,
She gave me good advice,
Said, Son you better quit your ramblin' round
And marry you a loving wife.

CHORUS: There's more pretty girls than one,
More pretty girls than one;
Every town I rambled 'round,
There's more pretty girls than one.

Look down that lonesome road,
Hang down your head and cry,
I'm studyin' about those pretty little girls
And hoping I never will die.

Pretty girl you done me wrong
You left me all alone
I'm leaving you this lonesome song
To sing when I am gone.
