Artist/Band: Great Big Sea
Lyrics for Song: Scolding Wife
Lyrics for Album: Sea Of No Cares [2002]



Well I came into a scoldin wife a few short years ago

And ever since I lead a life of misery and woe

My wife she is a tyrant around the room and in

I should sell her to the devil for a glass or two of gin



Sure I'll get up and go to work as mild as any man

And she'll get up and dress herself and go and have her dram

I never chance to say a word it's well I know my due

She'll follow me with the fire n shovel up and down the room



And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Oh I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again



When I get up at breakfast time she'll tap me on the head

When I come home at dinner time I'll find her drunk in bed

When I come home at supper time with patience I must stop

Cause she drinks what's in the teapot and I must drink the slop



And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Oh I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again



Well once I asked me scoldin wife if I could go to bed

She scarce gave me an hour on the pillow to lay me head

When like a roarin lion she came bustin down to the door

She caught me by the middle an threw me naked on the floor



And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Oh I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again



Now me and my campanions go to a public place

She'll search around the neighbourhood until she finds my face

She'll hoist me up and ridicule before the company

Sayin "Petticoats is your master and forever more shall be"



And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Oh I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again



And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Oh I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again



And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again

And if the devil'd take her I'd thank him for his pain

Oh I swear to God I'll hang meself if I get married again
