Them Bird Things

Cumberland Head Ferry Blues
If I'm a bride left at the altar
jilted, I falter
he's no prince across the water
for a grocer's daughter
there'll be no love
there'll be no love
A silly grin and grease on his shoes
the poor boy blues
works on a ferry line
he ain't the marrying kind
there'll be no love
though it's taken ages
there'll be no love
not on a deckhand's wages
Willie, he winked his eye
he heard me sigh
I saw him
march across the room
and all too soon
I met my doom
he took me in his arms
like a fool
I lost me cool
his hands found
a way to my breast
my hips they slip
he bit my lip
you'll get no milk today
Willie o' Willie
the shame, the sin
Willie o' Willie
don't tickle my chin
Willie o' Willie
I musn't give in
I won't blacken
you boots today
Sally o' Sally
a beer for me
Sally o' Sally
now make it three
Sally o' Sally
come sit on my knee

and I'll darken
your door today
It takes two to tango
two to bicker
Lassie,
I'm outta liquor
a ten spot
for a red hot
and I'm outta here
come back to bed
rub my head
why don'tja
lay with me awhile
make me smile
oh, by the way
I lost my job today
Willie 'o Willie
now lemme sleep
Willie 'o Willie
you effin' creep
Willie 'o Willie
you're making me weep
don't darken
my door today
Sally 'o Sally
you're better than this
Sally 'o Sally
don't judge amiss
Sally 'o Sally
it's just a kiss
come blacken
my boots today
When the push comes to shove
you call it love
and in a coldwater flat
you say I'm fat
there'll be no love
though it's taken ages
there'll be no love
not on a deckhand's wages
