lirik lagu frank harte - the ship carpenter's wife
[verse 1]
oh come all you gay fellows, you floricsome folk
’tis truly a fact now i’m going to invoke
’tis truly a fact now i’m going to unfold
’tis concering a woman by acution was sold
[verse 2]
a ship’s carpenter lived a few miles out of here
he was a little or rather too fond of a beer
he’d been hard up for cash, ’tis a fact as me life
for ten shillings by auction he sold off the wife
[verse 3]
well, he called for a bailsman concluded his sale
up in the high market where he could not fail
when the auctioneer came with his hammer so smart
while the carpenter’s wife she stood up in the cart
[verse 4]
oh, and now she’s put up without grumble or frown;
the first was a sailor he bid half a crown
he swore he would make her a lady so spruce
he would fatten her well up on cabbage and goose
[verse 5]
and the next was a cobbler, he gave a loud bawl
“nine shillings i’ll bid for her, muscles and all!”
“i’m [?]”, says the sailor, “she’s one out of four
but ten shillings i’ll give ya, and d~mn this screw more.”
[verse 6]
oh then, “thank you oh thank you,” says the bold auctioneer
“she’s going she’s going; is there n0body here
to bid any more? i’m afraid ’tis no job
and she’s going, she’s going, she’s away for ten bob.”
[verse 7]
then the hammer was struck and concluded the sale
and the sailor he paid down the the cash and the nail
shook hands with his bessy then gave her a smack
and then straight straddled legs he did jump on her back
[verse 8]
then they called for a fiddler and fifer to play
they danced and they sung there until it was day
till jack with his best to the hammock did go
while the fiddler and fifer played rosin the bow
[verse 9]
and now jack is content with his ten shilling wife
and long may they flourish and prosper through life
and long may they flourish and prosper through life
the young sailor that bought the ship’s carpenters wife
