I've only been married just one week today I'm sorry to say, sorry to say I've only been married one week to me wife And I'm sick of me life, sick of me life Oh, what a beautiful temper she's got She's just like a tiger, she ought to be shot Last night she made me sleep out in the yard And told me that I ought to do 'six months hard.' Chorus: And I've only been married a week It's a week too long for me I've only been married a week And I'm full of misery What a life, what a wife Oh, hasn't she got some cheek Last night she made me sleep out with the fowls And I've only been married a week. What she had to tell me when we left the church Knocked me off me perch, right off me perch 'I've a secret to tell you,' said she She told it to me, told it to me She said that she had been married before And when we got home, round the table I saw Two sloppy girls and a fat headed lad She said, 'I'm their Mother and you are their Dad.' Chorus: And I've only been married a week It's a week too long for me I've only been married a week And I'm full of misery What a life, what a wife Oh, hasn't she got some cheek There's three men with whiskers all calling me Dad And I've only been married a week. "I shan't get married again". |
