Song Lyrics

Verse 1
Come all you men and women, Give ear unto my song,
I'll tell you of a circumstance that will not keep you long;
I heard a man the other day, he was as savage as a Turk,
He was always grumbling at his wife, because she did no work.
Chorus
So men don't grumble at your wives,
For I'm sure there's none of you,
Can tell the daily labour,
That a woman has to do,
Verse 2
At six o clock each morning, when you to work do go,
I have to rise and light the fire, the bellows for to blow;
I have to set the tea things, and get the kettle boiled,
And then you know I have to wash and dress the youngest child.
Chorus
Verse 3
Some men will curse their wives and kick them, it is true,
But a man without a woman, whatever would he do?
So, men, if you would happy be, don't treat your wives with shame,
For when a woman does her best, she cannot be to blame.
Chorus
