His wicked conscience troubled him. He lost his stomach daily; He took to drinking Ratafia and thought upon Miss Bailey. Oh Miss Bailey Unfortunate Miss Bailey One night betimes he went to bed for he had caught the fever Said he "I am a handsome rogue, and I'm a gay deceiver." His candle just at twelve o'clock began to flicker palely. A ghost stepped up to his bedside and said: "Behold Miss Bailey." CHORUS "Avaunt, Miss Bailey" then he cried, "You can't affright me, really!" "Good Captain Smith," the ghost replied ,"You've used me ungenteely The coroner's quest goes hard with me because I've acted frail-ly And parson Biggs won't bury me, though I'm a dead Miss Bailey". CHORUS "Dear Ma'am," says he, "Since you and I, accounts must once for all close. I have a ten pound note in my regimental small clothes. T'will bribe the sexton for your grave." The ghost then vanished gaily, Crying "Bless you wicked Captain Smith, remember poor Miss Bailey" CHORUS The captain from his bed arose, his fever now departed His appetite being keen again, for town he quickly started He ordered beef and mutton, too, as he once used to daily He eyed the pretty ladies, and forgot about Miss Bailey CHORUS So come you maidens and beware of captains and their quarters Don't let them hand your petticoats, nor lead them near your garters But if you let them dilly dally round your flounces daily Stay away from hempen ropes, remember poor Miss Bailey CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------- Traditional, Last two verses by Mick Hamly @ghost filename[ BAILYGHO play.exe BAILYGHO DC ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Molly Malone, Monongahela Sal, Month Of May, Months, Monymustk Lads, Moon Dancing, Moonshiner, More Verses To Humoresque, More Wood, Mormond Braes, Morning Has Broken, Moscow Nights, Mother Is The Battle Over, Must Be Santa, Namibia Anthem Text, Nancy Brown, Nauru Anthem Text, Nauru Native Anthem Text, Navvy Boots, Nde Colores, Neath The Crust Of The Old Apple Pie, Ned Of The Hill, Nell Flahertys Drake, Nelly Bly, Neros Expedition, Net Hauling Song, Netherlands Native Anthem Text, Never Throw A Lighted Lamp At Mother, New Chum Crutcher, New Harmony, New York Girls, New Zealand Anthem Text, New Zealand Native Anthem Text, Nice People Like Us, Nickelodeon, Nigeria Anthem Text, Night Herding Song, Night Riders Lament, Night Visiting Song, Nightingale, Nightingales Sing, Nine Gold Medals, Nine Miles From Gundagai, Nine Pound Hammer Roll On Buddy, No Balls At All, No Comfort Facilities, No Irish Need Apply, No Man Is An Island, Nobody Knows The Trouble Ive Seen, Nobody Knows You When Youre Down And Out, 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
