When I was young and foolish
I thought that I would marry
So I fell in love with a pretty little girl
And her name was Devilish Mary
Chorus:
Do do-do-do do-do-do do-do-do
Do do-do-do do do do
Do do-do-do do-do-do do do
Do do do do do do.
Says I, "I think it's very nice
To have this fine relation"
"Shut up" she says, "you do the work
I'll do the conversation."
Chorus
She washed my pants in old soap suds
And sewed them up in stiches
She gave to me her prettiest dress
Said she, "I'll wear the britches."
Chorus
|
She boiled up a pot of soup
From worn out shoes and traces
Said she, "I think I;ll eat the soles
And you can have the laces."
Chorus
"That's all!" says I, "This is the end!
I will not stand no more!"
"That's right" she said,
"You've had enough!" and threw me out the door.
Chorus
Well if I ever more do wed
I'll marry just for riches.
I'll pick a little girl about two feet high
That can't put on my britches.
Chorus
