O ladies take pity on me, | |
Let me in your company mingle. | |
I once was merry and free | |
And, like you, I was happy and single. | |
Me mother advised me to wed, | |
For seventeen years I had tarried. | |
So, off to the church I did go - | |
In a trice to a man to be married. | |
O I wish that I never was wed. | |
For a short time he loved me sincere, | |
He used me both kindly and civil; | |
The honeymoon scarcely was o'er | |
When he turned out a quare divil! | |
The bed he took up on his back | |
And off to the pawnshop he carried | |
Oft times I wished I was dead | |
Or better, I never was married. | |
O I wish that I never was wed. | |
To the landlord he won't pay the rent | |
He says that he is not able | |
There's nothin' now left in the house | |
But two broken chairs and a table. | |
The bedclothes, the kettle and broom | |
Off to the pawnshop he carried. | |
He grunts, he snores, hoe roars, | |
O I wish that I never was married, | |
O I wish that I never was wed. | |
When he buys the meat once a month | |
That's if I'm not sadly mistaken, | |
There's nothin' but sheep's head and pluck | |
And a bit of sweet liver and bacon. | |
He says bread and butter are dear | |
And these times are shockingly harried. | |
All day he drinks whisky and beer, | |
O I wish that I never was wed. | |
One night he came home in a rage | |
He busted me new shoes asunder, | |
The cat he kicked into the grate | |
And the table flew out of the window. | |
The bellows he threw at me head, | |
Me clothes to the pawnshop he carried. | |
That night I wished I was dead | |
Or better, I never was married. | |
O I wish that I never was wed. | |
If I was but single again, | |
I'd sing and be joyous and merry. | |
I'd laugh, I'd shout, I'd roar, | |
I'd be heard in the Kingdom of Kerry! | |
So maidens single remain, | |
By your time, you'll never be harried. | |
If I was bus single again | |
By jingo, I'd never get married. | |
O I wish that I never was wed. |
