Trotting to the Fair? And if she's a cynic, When I was Married I Wore a Black Shawl...

Do you love an apple, do you love a pear,
Do you love a laddie with curly brown hair?
Oh still I love him, I can't deny him,
I'll be with him wherever he goes.

Before I got married I wore a black shawl,
But since I got married I wore bugger-all.
But still I love him, I can't deny him.
I'll be with him wherever he goes.

He stood at the corner, a fag in his mouth.
Two hands in his pockets, he whistled me out.
But still I love him, I can't deny him.
I'll be with him wherever he goes.

He works at the pier for nine bob a week,
Come Saturday night he comes rolling home drunk.
But still I love him, I can't deny him.
I'll be with him wherever he goes.

Before I got married I'd sport and I'd play,
But now the cradle it gets in me way.
But still I love him, I can't deny him.
I'll be with him wherever he goes.

Do you love an apple, do you love a pear,
Do you love a laddie with curly brown hair?
Oh still I love him, I can't deny him,
I'll be with him wherever he goes.
