Once I had a fortune I laid it in a trunk Lost it all all gambling One night when I got drunk. Wished I was in the West country Sittin' in a big armchair One arm 'round my whiskey barrel The other 'round my dear. If I had a scolding wife Tell you what I'd do Trade her off for a Barlow knife Paddle my own canoe. It's every day and Sunday too It seems so dark and hazy I'm thinking about my blue-eyed gal She's done run me crazy. If I had no horse at all I'd be found a' crawlin' Up and down this rocky road A' looking for my dariing. Went up on the mountain To give my horn a blow Thought I heard somebody say Yonder comes my beau « |
