Subject: Lyr Add: A KNAVE IS A KNAVE (Alan Arkin)
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!
