lirik lagu frank harte - wearing the britches
[verse 1]
oh come all young men where e’er you be
and listen to me lamentations
well, i courted a girl beyond compare
and i loved her with admiration
at length in time she became my wife
twas not for beauty but for riches
and all the time it causes strife
to see which of us will wear the britches
[verse 2]
well, paddy kane it is my name
me height it is five foot eleven
and my wife she’s nеarly not so big
she only measures four foot sеven
the hedges i have oft times stripped
i’ve left them bare of rods and switches
her skin that’s fair sure i’ve turned black
but still she says she’ll wear my britches
[verse 3]
i am a tailor to my trade
at cutting out i am quite handy
but sure all the money that i make
she lays it out on tea and brandy
now sometimes i do shout and ball
there’s nothing going but rogues and witches
her head goes often to the wall
but still she swears she’ll wear me britches
[verse 4]
one morning at the tea and eggs
content and sitting by the fire
well, she broke the teapot on my legs
and left me leaping to retire
‘tis now that i do shout and moan
as i go hopping on my crutches
well, i wished i’d broke my collarbone
the day i let her wear me britches
[verse 5]
so come all young men where e’er you be
don’t marry a wife if she’s enchanting
for if you do, you’ll end like me
with other men she’ll go gallanting
now my advice it is to yous
to marry for love and work for riches
and be sure of a wife with an honest tongue
that’ll give you leave to wear your britches
