You may talk of the joys of the sweet honey-moon,
I’ll agree they are nice while they last,
But in most every case they are over too soon,

You’ll wish you were out of the clatter and the din,

Chorus
With the racket and the muss, the trouble and the fuss,
His face all haggard and wan,
You can tell by his clothes whereever he goes,
That he is a poor married man.
He works all the day, and he tries to be gay,
Forgetting his worry and care,
He whistles it down as he goes through the town,
Though his heart is full of dispair,
His very last cent must be spent out for rent,
While at home there is Mollie and Dan,
Both crying for shoes, and it gives him the “blues”,
To think he’s a poor married man.
Cho.
When he goes to bed with his poor tired head,
He lies on the edge of the rail,
The colic and the croup makes him jump up and whoop,
Like a dog with a can to his tail,
He must walk, he must talk, he must sing, he must rock,
He must run for the water and the fan
He must bounce, he must leap, he must do without sleep,
If he is a poor married man.
Cho.
From his mother-in-law he gets nothing but jaw,
No matter how hard he may try,
To keep her in trim for she’ll light into him
And all of his wishes defy,
He’s a fool, he’s a brute and he never can suit,
Though he does just the best that he can,
He had better be dead for it then could be said,
He’s at rest now a poor married man.

Farewell, Ole Joe Clark
Goodbye, Betty Brown
Farewell, Ole Joe Clark
I’m goin’ to leave this town.
I went down to Dina’s house,
She met me at the door,
Shoes and stockings in her hand,
Feet all over the floor.
I would not marry an old maid,
I’ll tell you the reason why,
Her nose is always drippin
Her chin is never dry.
I went down to Joe Clark’s house,
I had never been there before,
He slept on the old straw bed
And I slept on the floor.
I asked my girl to marry me,
And what do you suppose she said?
There’s plenty of time to marry you
When all the rest is dead.
I wish I had a nickle,
I wish I had a dime.
I wish I had a pretty little miss
To kiss and call her mine.
Somebody stole my ole coon dog.
I wish they’d bring him back.
He run the big nigger over the fence

I ain’t got no money,
Got no place to stay
Got no place to lay my head
While the chickens are crowing for day.
Chorus.
Farewell, Ole Joe Clark,
Good by, Betty Brown
Farewell, Ole Joe Clark,
I’m goin’ to leave this town.
I went down to Dina’s house
She met me at the door
Shoes and stockings in her hand,
Feet all over the floor.
I would not marry an old maid
I’ll tell you the reason why
His nose is always drippin’
His chin is never dry.
I went down to Joe Clark’s house
I had never been there before
He slept on the bold straw bed
And I slept on the floor.
I asked my girl to marry me,
And what do you suppose she said?
There’s plenty of time to marry you
When all the rest is dead.
I wish I had a nickle,
I wish I had a dime.
I wish I had a pretty little Miss
To kiss and call her mine.
Somebody stole my ole coon dog.
I wish they’d bring him back.
He run the big nigger over the fence
And the little ‘un through the crack.
Somebody stole my ole blue hen.
I wish they’d a let her be.
She laid two eggs on every day
And Sunday she laid three.

Poor Jack has gone a sailing with trouble in his mind,
A leaving in this country his darling girl behind,
There was a wealthy merchant in London he did dwell,
And he had an only daughter the truth to you I’ll tell.
This lady she was courted by gents of high degree,
She loved none but Jack the sailor who ploughs the raging sea
If this be true my daughter of what I’ve heard of thee,
Then Jack he shall be banished and you confined shall be.
Oh, Pa, you may have my body, my heart you can’t confine,
There is none but Jack, the sailor, can win thisheart of mine,
She went into the tavern to dress in men’s array,
And unto the ship she started to convey herself away.
Before you come on board sir, your name I’d like to know,
She smiled within her countenance they call me Jack Monroe,
Your waist it is tooslender, your fingers they are small,
Your cheeks too red and rosy to face the cannon ball.
My waist is very slender, my fingers they are small,
But it never makes me tremble to see ten thousand fall,
The drum began to beat, the fife began to play,
Unto the field of battle they all did march away.
The wars all being ended, she took a circle round
Among the dead and wounded her darling boy she found,
She took him in her arms and carried him to town,
And sent for London doctors to heal his bloody wound.

As soon as I got married a happy man to be,
My wife turned out a sorrow jade, we never could agree,
For what I thought my greatest bliss was grief beyond compare,
And all the cause of my complain, she is my forever more.
Chorus-
For she’s a plague plaguing and she’s a plaguing me,
She’s a plague plaguing and never let’s me be.
About a week or something less, a bonny thing she was,
But err the second Sunday came, she made me cry alas!
Oh! often times I cry alas! ‘tis needless here to tell,
The wright of it lies all on this, the jade she knows herself.
My house I dare not call my own, nor anything that is in it,
And if I chance to speak a word, she flies like fire from flint.
My very hair I dare not cut, my clothes I dare not wear,
And all, both clothes and money too, she keeps me naked bare.
Right well she knows I dearly love a dainty dish of meat,
She cooks it up so dirtily, the devil abit I eat,
And if I turn my mouth awry, or chance to shake my head,
She calls me filthy boor, and says I am very ill to feed.
When I am for merriment, oh! then she’s very sad,
And when I am for soberness, she goes distracted mad.
When I wish to hear her speak, she silent sits and dumb,
And when I am for quietness, she rattles like a drum.
Yesterday my neighbor Tom and I went our throats to wet,
She thundered in my ears so loud I think I hear her yet,
And when her barleyhood is on, whicH often is the case,
The first thing that comes to her hands she dashes in my face.
That marriage is a paradise I have often heard folks tell,
But for my own part - first and last - I think its worse than hell-
And yet there is a comfort left - a comfort and no more,
The pangs of death will break the bonds and bury all my care.

And I never will complain,
But since I wed I’m almost dead
My husband is insane.
He keeps me jumping through a hoop,
He’s gone from bad to worse.
He does’nt seem to wanrt a wife,
What he needs is a nurse.
When I try to have my way,
He’ll yell at me and say,
“You’re goint to loose your husband if you do.
Go right ahead and I wont worry,
Have a hot time in a hurry.
‘Ere you start on your way,
I have just this word to say
You’re going to loose your husband, your husband, your husband.
You’re going to loose your husband if you do.
I could’nt wear a hobble skirt when they were all the go.
How I suffered on windy days no one shall ever know.
And now I want a harem skirt, he can’t see them at all
He says, “United we will stand,divided we will fall.”
Said he, “You’ll take a chance if you wear those harempants.
You’re going to lose your husband if you do.
Though you may think my ways uncouth,I won’t stand for the naked truth
And while your charms it may enhance to wear those nifty harem pants,
You’re going to lose your husband if you do.
I want to sing Grand Opera, I have a lively voice!
The way I sing”Ill’ trovatore “ would make your heart rejoice.
To have a job like Melba’s has always been my wish
But every time I try to sing I have to dodge a dish.
I felt down hearted when he cried,”Don’t sing again,
You’re going to lose your husband if you do.

In words so sweet he did complain,
Pray ladies how could I do less,
Than love this chariming youth again?
For he can dance with graceful ease,
Can touch with magic skill the string
Formed every female heart to please,
The girls all say he is quite the thing.
His teeth are white as mountain snow,
His sparkling eyes as jet are black
In short, the truth to let you know,
There is no charm which he doth lack.
The merry dance he will join with ease,
Or touch with with magic skill the string,
Formed every female heart to please--
I am sure you will say he is quite the thing.
With him I went to sweet Vaunhall,
And crowds of well-dressed beaux were there,
But none I saw amongst them all,
With my dear Charley could compare.

I blushed, but could not answer nay--

She could brew, and she could bake, she could cut and she could
make
She could sweep in a house with a broom, broom, broom.
She could card and she could spin, she could do most anything,
But alas! and alas! She was dumb, dumb, dumb.

To cure his living wife of the numb, numb, numb.
He cut the chatting string, and her tongue began to ring,
And it sounded in his ear, like a drum, drum, drum.
Her tongue began to walk, and she began to talk
The same as if she never had been dumb, dumb, dumb.
She filled the house with strife, made him weary of his life,
He'd give anything again if she was dumb, dumb, dumb.

Saying: Doctor, Oh, Doctor, I'm undone, undone, done.

But her riches was so lofty and her fashion so fine.
And on this young man she scarcely cast her eye.
O Salley O Salley O Salley said he.
Im sorry to think we canot agree.
But if all your hatred would turn to love.
My love and your love would prove true I am sure.
Yes I am scornful For I hate you.
To say that I love you is more than I can.
So you may retire in your discorse.
For I will never marry you unless I am forced.
O Salley O Salley O Salley said he.
Don't youn rember when you slighted me?
I came here to court you but you slighted me with scorn.
And now I reward you with things passed and gone.
Oft things passed and gone love forget and forgive.
And grant me a blessing I longer to live.
I never will salley during my life.
Ill dance on your grave when your laid in the earth.
Six weeks have come and six weeks have passed.
This damsel was taken down sick at the last.
All raped up in love and she knew not why.
She sent for this young man that she used to denie.
Im am the Docter you sent me here.
I am the young man that you love so dear.
Yes you are the young man that can kill me or cure.
Without your effections i am gone i am sure.
Fare well my dear parents and all my best friends.
Adue to my Swwetheart God make him a man.
Ill will freely frrgive him although he wont me.
Tenn thousand times ore thee I see.

There was a rich lady from London she came,
Whose name it was Sally oh Sally by name,
Her riches was more than a king could possess
Her beauty was more than her riches would fetch.
There was a young man courted her 500 times a year
He often said Sally, oh Sally my dear,
Oh, Sally oh, Sally, Oh Sally, said he,
I am sorry my love and yourn can’t agree.
Its I don’t despise you, nor no other man,
But as for to love you, its more than I can,
Its now and forever just ends our discourse,
I never will marry you unless I am forced.
It’s fare you well Sally, I am now going home,
No doubt in my mind but your pride will come down,
Before three weeks was over and another going past
She sent for this young man her love had struck her at last.
He came to her bedside, saying ""Sally my dear,
Is the pain that doth hurt you, doth lye in your head""
""Oh, no, by the right that you have not guessed,
The pain that now hurts me doth lay in my heart"".
""Now, Sally, Oh Sally, Oh Sally,"" said he
""Now don’t you remember when you slighted me
When you slighted me in lowrney and scorn
And now I’ll reward you for things past and gone.
For things past and gone, love, forget and forgive,
And spare me my life some longer to live,
I never will forgive you while during my breath,
I’ll dance on your grave when you’re laid in the clay
Its on her forefinger there were rings, diamonds there
Saying take these and wear them when you’re dancing on me,
When you’re dancing on me, when you’re dancing on me
Ten thousand times over my folly I see.

They tell me, Father, that tonight
You wed another bride
That you will clasp her in your arms
Where my dear Mother died.
That she will lean her graceful head
Upon your manly breast,
Where she who now lies low in death
In life’s last hours did rest.
They say her name is Mary, too-
The name my Mother bore.
But Father, is she kind and true
Like the one you loved before?
And is her step so soft and light,
Her voice so meek and mild?
And Father, do you think she will love
Your blind and helpless child?
Please, Father, do not bid me come
To meet your lovely bride,
For I could not meet her in the room
Where my dear Mother died.
Her picture’s hanging on the wall.
Her books are lying near,
And there’s the harp her fingers touched
And her vacant chair.
The chair where by her side I knelt
To say my evening prayer.
Please, Father, do not bid me come,
For I could not meet her there.
But when I’ve cried myself to sleep,
As I now often do,
Then softly to my chamber creep,
My new Mama and you.
Then bid her gently press a kiss
upon my throbbing brow,
Just as my own dear Mother would.
Why, Papa, you’re weeping now.
Now let me kneel down by your side
And to my Savior pray
That God’s right hand may guide you back
Through life’s long weary way.
The prayer was murmured, then again
""I’m growing tired"", she said.
He gently raised her in his arms
And laid her on the bed.
Then as he turned to leave the room,
One joyful cry was given.
He turned and caught the sweetest smile,
For his blind child was in Heaven.
They laid her by her Mother’s side
And raised a marble fair,
And on it engraved these simple words:
There’ll be no blind ones there.
