And the doctor advised me to go for a rest,
So I went to the coast for a couple o' weeks
The weather was fine and it coloured my cheeks,
I went for a sail ev'ry day I was there,

But always get back about twenty to ten.
Then we stand at the gate and we plan and we plot,
What we will do with the money she's got
Last nigicht I told her I thought she should
Hand it over to me and she promised she would. So I-
