I have that album, but at the moment, I do not have a machine to play it on.

But, be of good cheer! Here's the words from the liner notes:

A KNAVE IS A KNAVE

I went to the alehouse, as an honest woman should,
And a knave followed after, as you know knaves would.

REFRAIN: Oh, knaves will be knaves, in every degree.
I'll tell you, by and by, how this knave served me.

I called for my pot, as an honest woman should,
And the knave drank it up, as you know knaves would.

I went to my bed, as an honest woman should,
And the knave crept in, as you know knaves would.

I proved with child, as an honest woman should,
And the knave ran away, as you know knaves would.

Oh, knaves will be knaves, in every degree,
And thus I have told you how this knave served me!
