作词 : Gottlieb | |
In seventeen forty-two, it was customary in the township of Halifax, for a gentleman to partake occasionally of ratafia which was--a light-flavored liquer of amazing potency--which originated in Middlesex and which we suppose is the reason for this song. | |
Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey! | |
A captain bold in Halifax, who dwelt in country quarters, seduced a maid who hung herself one Monday in her garters. | |
His wicked conscience smitted him. | |
He lost his stomach daily. | |
He took to drinking ratafia and tho't upon Miss Bailey. | |
Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey! | |
One night betimes he went to bed for he had caught the fever. Said he, "I am a handsome man and I'm a gay deceiver." | |
His candle just a twelve o'clock began to burn quite palely. | |
A ghost stepped up to his bedside and said, "Behold, Miss Bailey!" | |
Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey! | |
"Avast, Miss Bailey," then he cried, "you can't affright me, really." "Dear Captain Smith," the ghost replied, "you used me ungenteelly. | |
The coroner's quest goes hard with me because I've acted freely and Parson Biggs won't bury me tho' I'm a dead Miss Bailey." | |
Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey! | |
"Dear Ma'am," says he, "since you and I must once for all accounts close, I have a one pound note in my regimental small clothes. | |
'Twill bribe the sexton for your grave." The ghost then answered gaily, "Bless you, wicked Captain Smith, remember poor Miss Bailey!" | |
Oh, Miss Bailey! Unfortunate, Miss Bailey! | |
"All's well that ends well, I suppose." |
