James Yorkston (whose voice is very weak in terms of projection, although not breathy) does quite a likeable version of BBBD, although for reasons best known to himself he re-sexes it without changing the names - so "I married a girl for her money", etc. He slows it right down and sings it not much above a mumble - it sounds like the singer's quietly falling asleep while consoling herself (or himself) with a revenge fantasy. Unfortunately his only recorded version of the song is marred by being sung in a major key, which makes it sound far too cheerful.

I'm not crazy about the song myself. To me it has the ring of a comic (music hall?) song: a Mrs Gamp/Hilda Ogden figure, a comedy working-class woman, complaining articulately about her husband, and concluding with the hilarious notion that she might go and get drunk herself.
