lirik lagu julia williams - the ruined maid
“o ‘melia, my dear, this does everything crown!
who could have supposed i should meet you in town?
and whence such fair garments, such prosperi~ty?” —
“o didn’t you know i’d been ruined?” said she
— “you left us in tatters, without shoes or socks
tired of digging potatoes, and spudding up docks;
and now you’ve gay bracelets and bright feathers three!” —
“yes: that’s how we dress when we’re ruined,” said she
— “at home in the barton you said thee’ and thou,’
and thik oon,’ and theäs oon,’ and t’other’; but now
your talking quite fits ‘ee for high compa~ny!” —
“some polish is gained with one’s ruin,” said she
— “your hands were likе paws then, your face blue and blеak
but now i’m bewitched by your delicate cheek
and your little gloves fit as on any la~dy!” —
“we never do work when we’re ruined,” said she
— “you used to call home~life a hag~ridden dream
and you’d sigh, and you’d sock; but at present you seem
to know not of megrims or melancho~ly!” —
“true. one’s pretty lively when ruined,” said she
— “i wish i had feathers, a fine sweeping gown
and a delicate face, and could strut about town!” —
“my dear — a raw country girl, such as you be
cannot quite expect that. you ain’t ruined,” said she
