For her husband he was a hunk of a man A chunk of a man and a drunk of a man, He was a hunk of a drunk and a skunk of a man Such a boozing, bruising husband. For he would come home drunk each night, He thrashed her black, he thrashed her white; He thrashed her, too, within an inch of her life, Then he slept like a log, did her husband. One night she gathered her tears all round her shame She thought of the bruising and cried with the pain, Oh, you'll not do that ever again, I won't live with a drunken husband. But as he lay and snored in bed, A strange old thought came into her head, She went for the needle, went for the thread, And went straight in to her sleeping husband. And she started to stitch with a girlish thrill With a woman's heart and a seamstress' skill, She bibbed and tucked with an iron will, All around her sleeping husband. Oh, the top sheet, the bottom sheet, too, The blanket stitched to the mattress through, She stitched and stitched for the whole night through Then she waited for the dawn and her husband. And when her husband woke with a pain in his head, He found that he could not move in bed, Sweet Christ, I've lost the use of me legs! But this wife just smiled at her husband. For in her hand she held the frying pan With a flutter in her heart she given him a lam; He could not move but he cried, ``God damn!'' ``Don't you swear,'' she cried to her husband. Then she thrashed him black, she thrashed him blue, With the frying pan and the colander t Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Advice to the Lovelorn, Afghanistan Anthem Native Text, Afghanistan Anthem Text, After the Ball, After the Strike, Aint Gonna Grieve My Lord No More, Aint It Great to Be Crazy, Air Corps Lament, Air Force 801, Alabamas Crew, Albania Anthem Native Text, Albatross, Alberta, Aley Aley, All Around My Hat, All Around My Hat Parody, All The Earth, All the Pretty Little Horses, All the World is Desolation, All Through the Night, Allison Gross, Alma Mater Cornell, Alouette, Alpha Phi Omega Toast, Alteh Buck, Altered, Alumbering We Go, Amelia Earharts Last Flight, Amtrak Song, Andrew Marteen, Andrew Ross Andrew Rose, Andro and His Cutty Gun, Angels We Have Heard On High, Angus Hempstead, Ann O Hethersgill, Antigua Anthem Text, Apple Computer, Apple Pickers Reel, Argentina Native Anthem Text, Arkys Toast, Army Bean, Army Bugs, Around Cape Horn, As I Walked Out, Asteroid Light, At the Boarding House, Auferstanden Aus Ruinen, Auld Lang Syne Original, Auld Matrons, Australia Anthem Text, Other Unknown song Lyrics 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall Lyrics A Bird in a Gilded Cage Lyrics A Fenian Song Lyrics A Fool Such As I Lyrics A Friend Like You Lyrics A Hero of the Wrong War Lyrics A Horse Named Bill Lyrics A Hundred Years from Now Lyrics A Kangaroo Sat on an Oak Lyrics A Little Bit of Solitude Lyrics A Living Wage Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Unknown Prophets Lyrics Unleashed Lyrics Unleashed Power Lyrics Unlimited Nation Lyrics Unlimited Sound Lyrics UNLOCO Lyrics Unlord Lyrics UNLV Lyrics Unni Wilhelmsen Lyrics Uno Svenningsson Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
