    Default Here's some lyrics - need title or artist

    This is a song we sang back in the fifties. I need to find it for a reunion.
    This is the way it starts:

    I'm just a poor bachelor who never did wed, but please don't feel sorry for me.....

    The chorus line is:

    Drink to the girl that I never did find, drink to the road that I roam;
    Drink to the dreams that will never be mine, as I go drifting along

    I would really appreciate it if I could find the artist and/or the title.

    Thanks

    is it:

    "I'm Just A Poor Bachelor" by Frankie Laine ??

    I did not find any lyrics to back up my guess, but the year matches (in 1952)

    Yes, yes !! I had an idea it might have been Frankie Laine. I did do some searching and found lists of his songs, but couldn't find it listed. With the year and correct title
    I have a much better chance of finding a recording to buy or download.
    Thank you very much.

    Well, I googled 'I'm Just a Poor Bachelor' and guess what? I found it on eBay!
    It's a 45 rpm recording and purported to be in good shape. Fortunatley I have a
    turntable that plays 45's so I ordered it and will have it for the reunion. Again,
    thanks for your help. I'm glad I found this forum.
