Cool Beans Lyr Req: Follow the Band / My Husband's a Mason (14) RE: Lyr Req: Follow the Band / My Husband's a Mason 19 Jul 21


Two verses I learned from the singing of Oscar Brand. They're on a live album he did in the 60s accompanied by Fred Hellerman on guitar and Billy Faier on banjo:

My husband's a sexton, a sexton.
My husband's a sexton is he.
All day he bangs bells, he bangs bells, he bangs bells.
At night he comes home and drinks tea.

AND a variant on the carpenter verse..

My husband's a carpenter, etc.
All day he screw bolts, he screws bolts, he screws bolts.
At nigh he comes home and drinks tea.
