Before I got married I wore a black shawl
But since I got married I wear coveralls.
But still I love him, I can't deny him
I will be with him where e'er he goes.

He stood at the corner, a fag in his mouth
Two hands in his pockets, he whistled me out
But still I love him, I can't deny him
I will be with him where e'er he goes.

He works at the pier for 9 bob a week
Come Saturday night he comes rolling home drunk
But still I love him, I can't deny him
I will be with him where e'er he goes.

Before I got married I'd sport and I'd play
But now the cradle it gets in me way
But still I love him, I can't deny him
I will be with him where e'er he goes.

[Repeat first verse]
