Well, I came iDnto a scoldiGng wife a few shAort years ago D
And Gever since I Dlead a life of Gmisery and Awoe
My Gwife she is a Dtyrant aGround the room and Ain
Ah, she'd Dsell me to the Gdevil for a Agalss or two of DGin. (Alan's part)
Sure I'll get up and go to work as mild as any man
And she'll get up and dress herself and go and have her dram
And if I chance to say a word, it's well I know my doom
She'll follow me with the fire shovel up and down the room
And Gif the devil'd Dtake her I'd Gthank him for his Dpain
I Gswear to God I'll Dhang me self If AI get married again
And Gif the devil'd Dtake her I'd Gthank him for his Dpain
Oh, I Gswear to God I'll Dhang me self if AI get married aDgain
When I get home at breakfast time she'll tap me on the head
When I come home at dinner time I'll find her drunk in bed
When I come home at supper time my patients I must stop
'Cause she drank what's in the teapot and I must drink the slops (Darrell's part)
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
I swear to God I'll hang me self If I get married again
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
Oh, I swear to God I'll hang me self if I get married again
Well, once I asked me scolding wife if I could go to bed
She scarce gave me an hour on the pillow to lay me head
When like a roarin' lion she came bustin' down the door
She caught me by the middle and threw me naked on the floor (Séan's part)
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
I swear to God I'll hang me self If I get married again
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
Oh, I swear to God I'll hang me self if I get married again
Now, me and my companions go to a public place
She'll search around the neighbourhood until she finds my face
She'll hoist me up and ridicule me for the company
Saying, "Petticoat is you master, and forevermore shall be." (All)
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
I swear to God I'll hang me self If I get married again
And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain
Oh, I swear to God I'll hang me self if I get married again
(Chorus 4 times, last 2 without music)
