So this husband came home drunk each night
|
And he thrashed her black and he thrashed her white
|
He thrashed her to within an inch of her life
|
Then he slept like a log, did her husband
|
But as he lay and snored in bed
|
A strange idea came into her head
|
So she went for the needle and she went for the thread
|
And straight to her sleeping husband
|
She started to stitch with a girlish thrill
|
With a woman's art and a seamstress' skill
|
She pinned and tucked with an iron will
|
All around her sleeping husband
|
When her husband awoke with a pain in his head
|
|
He found he could not move in bed
|
'Sweet Christ I've lost the use of me legs!'
|
But the wife just smiled at her husband
|
Then she thrashed him black, she thrashed him blue
|
With a frying pan and a colander, too
|
With a rolling pin just a stroke or two
|
A battered and bleeding husband
|
Isn't it true what small can do
|
With a thread and a stitch and a thought or two
|
He's wiped his slate, his boozing's through
|
Goodbye to a drunken husband
|
Kick out the jams, motherfucker!
|
Shhh
