(Chorus) When he goes to bed with his poor tired head, He lies on the edge of the rail, The colic and the croup makes him jump up and whoop, Like a dog with a can to his tail, He must walk, he must talk, he must sing, he must rock, He must run for the water and the fan He must bounce, he must leap, he must do without sleep, If he is a poor married man. (Chorus) From his mother-in-law he gets nothing but jaw, No matter how hard he may try, To keep her in trim for she'll light into him And all of his wishes defy, He's a fook, he's a brute and he never can suit, Though he does just the best that he can, He had better be dead for it then could be said, He's at rest now a poor married man.

THE POOR MARRIED MAN You may talk of the joys of the sweet honey-moon, I’ll agree they are nice while they last, But in most every case they are over too soon, And numbered with the things of the past, The trials and the troubles are sure to begin, Although you may do what you can, You’ll wish you were out of the clatter and the din, That follows the poor married man. Chorus With the racket and the muss, the trouble and the fuss, His face all haggard and wan, You can tell by his clothes whereever he goes, That he is a poor married man. He works all the day, and he tries to be gay, Forgetting his worry and care, He whistles it down as he goes through the town, Though his heart is full of dispair, His very last cent must be spent out for rent, While at home there is Mollie and Dan, Both crying for shoes, and it gives him the “blues”, To think he’s a poor married man. Cho. When he goes to bed with his poor tired head, He lies on the edge of the rail, The colic and the croup makes him jump up and whoop, Like a dog with a can to his tail, He must walk, he must talk, he must sing, he must rock, He must run for the water and the fan He must bounce, he must leap, he must do without sleep, If he is a poor married man. Cho. From his mother-in-law he gets nothing but jaw, No matter how hard he may try, To keep her in trim for she’ll light into him And all of his wishes defy, He’s a fool, he’s a brute and he never can suit, Though he does just the best that he can, He had better be dead for it then could be said, He’s at rest now a poor married man.

The Soldier Lass Poor Jack has gone a sailing with trouble in his mind, A leaving in this country his darling girl behind, There was a wealthy merchant in London he did dwell, And he had an only daughter the truth to you I’ll tell. This lady she was courted by gents of high degree, She loved none but Jack the sailor who ploughs the raging sea If this be true my daughter of what I’ve heard of thee, Then Jack he shall be banished and you confined shall be. Oh, Pa, you may have my body, my heart you can’t confine, There is none but Jack, the sailor, can win thisheart of mine, She went into the tavern to dress in men’s array, And unto the ship she started to convey herself away. Before you come on board sir, your name I’d like to know, She smiled within her countenance they call me Jack Monroe, Your waist it is tooslender, your fingers they are small, Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannon ball. My waist is very slender, my fingers they are small, But it never makes me tremble to see ten thousand fall, The drum began to beat, the fife began to play, Unto the field of battle they all did march away. The wars all being ended, she took a circle round Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found, She took him in her arms and carried him to town, And sent for London doctors to heal his bloody wound.

Right well she knows I dearly love a dainty dish of meat, She cooks it up so dirtily, the devil abit I eat; And if I turn my mouth awry, or chance to shake my head, She calls me :'ilthy boor, and says I am very ill to feed. When I a.m for merriment, oh! then she's very sad, And when I am for soberness, she goes destra.cted mad.

The Ill Wife As soon as I got married a happy man to be, My wife turned out a sorrow jade, we never could agree, For what I thought my greatest bliss was grief beyond compare, And all the cause of my complain, she is my forever more. Chorus- For she’s a plague plaguing and she’s a plaguing me, She’s a plague plaguing and never let’s me be. About a week or something less, a bonny thing she was, But err the second Sunday came, she made me cry alas! Oh! often times I cry alas! ‘tis needless here to tell, The wright of it lies all on this, the jade she knows herself. My house I dare not call my own, nor anything that is in it, And if I chance to speak a word, she flies like fire from flint. My very hair I dare not cut, my clothes I dare not wear, And all, both clothes and money too, she keeps me naked bare. Right well she knows I dearly love a dainty dish of meat, She cooks it up so dirtily, the devil abit I eat, And if I turn my mouth awry, or chance to shake my head, She calls me filthy boor, and says I am very ill to feed. When I am for merriment, oh! then she’s very sad, And when I am for soberness, she goes distracted mad. When I wish to hear her speak, she silent sits and dumb, And when I am for quietness, she rattles like a drum. Yesterday my neighbor Tom and I went our throats to wet, She thundered in my ears so loud I think I hear her yet, And when her barleyhood is on, whicH often is the case, The first thing that comes to her hands she dashes in my face.

Her tongue began to walk, and she began to talk The same as if she never had been dumb, dumb, dumb. She filled the house with strife, made him weary of his life, He'd give anything again if she was dumb, dumb, dumb. To the doctor he did go, with his heart full of woe, Saying: Doctor, Oh, Doctor, I'm undone, undone, done. For my wife she's turned to scold, and her tongue she will not hold I'd give anything again if she was dumb, dumb, dumb. It is the easiest part that belongs to my art, To make a woman talk that is dumb, dumb, dumb. But it's past the art of man, let him do the best he can To make a scolding wife hold her tongue, tongue, tongue. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

That she will lean her graceful head Upon your manly breast, Where she who now lies low in death In life’s last hours did rest. They say her name is Mary, too- The name my Mother bore. But Father, is she kind and true Like the one you loved before? And is her step so soft and light, Her voice so meek and mild? And Father, do you think she will love Your blind and helpless child? Please, Father, do not bid me come To meet your lovely bride, For I could not meet her in the room Where my dear Mother died. Her picture’s hanging on the wall. Her books are lying near, And there’s the harp her fingers touched And her vacant chair. The chair where by her side I knelt To say my evening prayer. Please, Father, do not bid me come, For I could not meet her there. But when I’ve cried myself to sleep, As I now often do, Then softly to my chamber creep, My new Mama and you. Then bid her gently press a kiss upon my throbbing brow, Just as my own dear Mother would. Why, Papa, you’re weeping now. Now let me kneel down by your side And to my Savior pray That God’s right hand may guide you back Through life’s long weary way. The prayer was murmured, then again "I’m growing tired", she said. He gently raised her in his arms And laid her on the bed. Then as he turned to leave the room, One joyful cry was given. He turned and caught the sweetest smile, For his blind child was in Heaven. They laid her by her Mother’s side And raised a marble fair, And on it engraved these simple words: There’ll be no blind ones there.
