The Batchelor – Battlefield Band
[Verse 1]
G C G D
Oh, when I was a bachelor young and airy
C D G
Hearty was I and content.
G C G D
I married a wife for to lie by me
C D G
Which causes me for to lament.
G D C G
When I come home, wet and weary
G C D
It’s wet and weary do I come
G C G D
Me wife’s in bed til after eleven
C D G
On the longest day in the month of June.
[Verse 2]
G C G D
The very first year my wife I married
C D G
I scarce could get one wink of sleep.
G C D D
For she rubbed me shins til the blood did trickle
C D G
Saying husband dear put down your feet.
G D C G
But when that I asked her the question
G C D
It’s husband dear, now come come come
G C G D
Young women, you know, they must have pleasure
C D G
And a poor man’s labour is never done.
[Verse 3]
G C G D
And the very next year my wife I married
C D G
She bore to me a loving son.
G C G D
And she sends me down to rock the cradle
C D G
And she gives me kisses when I’m done,
G D C G
And if he cries she beats and bangs me
G C D
And if he roars, I’m the first for to run
G C G D
It’s away from the hearth with me coat and me britches
C D G
And the poor man’s labour is never done.
[Verse 4]
G C G D
So come all you young men I pray take a warning
C D G
Be sure and choose a loving wife.
G C G D
Aye and don’t take home my wife’s sister
C D G
Or she’ll plague you all her life.
G D C G
And don’t take home my wife’s mother
G C D
Or she’ll plague you even more
G C G D
Oh come and take me wife with a welcome
C D G
And then my troubles will be o’er.
