Then up and spoke the skippers wife And she was dressed in black And in one corner of her funny little thing She had a fishing smack She had a fishing smack my boys The oarlocks and the oars And in the other corner she had bags and bags of sores
Then up and spoke the jockey's wife and she was dressed in red And in one corner of her funny little thing She had a horses head She had a horses head my boys The bridle and the bit And in the other coner she had bags and gabs of shit
