There ya go Liz with breaks... TWICE DAILY
When I were a lad, I were so glad, to go out in the daytime With me fork and a bottle and a cork, to help out in the hay time. Was tossing hay up on the mound I met young Lucy Bailey, I said my dear are you often here?' She said 'yes sir, twice daily'
We had such fun in the summer sun, Lucy were so thrilling, Sweet and pure, but I weren't sure that that young maid were willing. Till one day among the hay we were working gaily, She ups and slips, somat rips and I went there twice daily.
She said dear I do feel queer, I think I ought to tell ee It ain't new bread, she sadly said, 'tis swelling up me belly. ought to go to Dr Joe, and off she went so gaily he gave her a dollop of girt pink jollop, and said take this twice daily.
Now Lucys' dad were very mad, chased I round the hay mound Said, my son, you've had your fun the time has come to pay now, My girl you'll wed, the old man said, as he waved his shotgun gaily, If you don't he said, I'll put some lead, and you won't go there twice daily
Well the very next day in the month of May, we held the ceremony, Paid off the vicar with a gallon of liquor, rode to church on a pony Village folks for miles around, waved and shouted gaily, There's no doubt, you'll get caught out if you go there twice daily.
To Lucy's joy, she had a boy, what a little darling Round and fat like a Cheshire cat, perky as a starling, Skin were smooth as a cider jar, and they called him Buster Bailey fed him on swedes and charlock weeds and a pint of scrump twice daily.
Now we'm old, our story's told, been 40 years together and we often stray where we tossed the hay in that old time summer weather Kids we got full 10 or more, we goes on quite gaily, Though I'm old and grey, when I gets me way, I still goes there twice daily.
