- Fifteen pounds pension I have got in the year which causes
My wife to drink whiskey and beer.
She has a tongue like a cannon, the sound in my ear
Before the daylight in the morning.
To kindle the fire it is my first job
And if I don't do that right
I'll get a slap in the gob.
A kick or a clout or a box in the bob
I'll surely get that from my darling.
Out for the water the kettle to boil
And when I get back I must nurse the young child
I wish to God I was shot on the banks of the Nile
Before the daylight in the morning.Her beauty and praises she'll shortly expose
She's filthy, she's dirty, she's a dam dirty nose
She's a disgrace to all women wherever she goes
And her clothes is all tattered and hanging.
She hasn't a shift on her back either black, white or blue
That ever was wet in a washing- Informant
