Bob Davenport sings a Geordie version of the song that RoyH suggests.
The young wife is trying to wheedle the old husband around, but he is bitter, probably because she has done something unforgivable.
He only gets about 6 words at the end of each verse, usually ending:
"....., you bitch!"

Only verse that I can remember.

"Chammily will poison you, my old man!
Chammily will poison you, come cuddle me, my lamb!
Chammily will poison you, my old man!
Thou art the best old man that's alive!
Thou art the best old man that's alive, that's alive, that's alive!"
"Then I'll die, you bitch!"

(Chammily. = Bleach made from fermented urine.)
Can't remember the title.
