Once
I did a thing that I consider very foolish;
I
went and married Mary, who is very much home-ruleish.
Just
a week or so te speak of honeymoonish folly,
Then
years of strife! up on my life, it's anything but jolly.
Chorus
I
used to delight on what she talked on;
I
used to worship, too, the ground she walked on.
I
married Mary, now I wish that she would go
To
Jerrico
Verse 2
Just
'cos I refus'd to work for her, well, she objected,
And
with the kitchen poker my poor boko she dissected!
"Kill
the vill'in while you're willin'!" cried her dear old mother,
"And
when he's dead, again get wed, then you can kill the other."
Chorus
Verse 3
To
finish the disaster there's a young man with us stopping;
She
takes my pay on saturday, then her and him go shopping.
When
they come in, if I begin a little bit to storm her,
I'm
told to go to - well, to where the atmosphere is warmer.
Chorus
