WILL THE WEAVER (3) Now my lad, we are married I'm no longer single tarried My wife she did cuss and swear Swore the breeches she would wear. As I went home a neighbor met me, And they told me this just to fret me: You can't guess to save your life Who I saw talking with your wife. I saw her and Will the Weaver Talking so polite together At the sill of her own door. In they went and I saw no more.] Up the chimney boldly peeping There I saw the one I missing, There I saw that poor old soul Sitting on the lubber pole. I reached up and down I fotched him, Round the room like hell I shot him. She cries out: "O spare his life And save him for his wedded wife. He tore out in a terrible blunder For his home like hell in thunder You have been to the devil, I'm sure, Just look how your clothes is tore. Now, my lad, we'll have a trimming For meddlling with your neighbour's women. She picked up a stick and hit him on the head. Before it was black and now it was red.
