Subject: Lyr Add: MY HUSBAND'S GOT NO COURAGE IN HIM^^
I think I need to start again - tried it before but don't think it worked - anyway.

MY HUSBAND'S GOT NO COURAGE IN HIM^^

As I walked out one summer's morning
To view the trees and leaves a-sprining
I saw two maidens standing standing by
And one of them her hands was wringing
Chorus Oh dear oh
Oh dear oh
My husband's got no courage in him
Seven long years I made his bed
Six of them I lay beside him And this morning I role with my maidenhead
For still he had no courage in him

(Chorus)

My husband he can dance or sing
Do anything that's not fit for him
But he cannot do the thing I want
For alas he's got no courage in him.

If he does not shortly try
A cuckold I am sure to make him
For let me do what e'er I will
I really can't put courage in him

I wish that he was dead and gone
And in the grave I'd quickly lay him
And then I'd try another one
That's got a little courage in him

So come all pretty maids where'er you be
Don't marry a man before you try him
Or else you'll sing a song like me
My husbands got no courage in him

(Joe - I think perhaps you're right about not wanting to sing this!)
Line Breaks <br> added, but I still won't sing the song....^^
