I'm feeling so glad when I ought to be sad,
Yes, I ought to be sad, but I'm glad.
I married I did when I was a Kid,
Then I was so sorry that I ever did;
But I contracted to love her,
But loving's  a difficult thing,
But since she's at rest, wi' the rest of the best,
I'm telling the truth when I sing;

Chorus

If I ever get married again,  If I ever I marry again,
She must be just about twenty three,
As fresh as a daisy and crazy for me,
With tons and tons o' money
And never cause me pain,
And I must be the Boss O' the Hoose,
If ever I marry again.

Verse 2

The essence of Life is a jewel of a wife,
If she isn't a jewel then it's strife;
It's terrible tough, if ye angle is rough,
I know because I've had more than enough.
But ye see I had married a widow
a widow's a woman who knows,
She's fly and she's sly and between you and I,
Knows the way ev'ry  wind blows.

Chorus
