Thread Name: Origins: My Husband's Got No Courage in Him
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....^^ -Joe Offer-
