Well I Dcame into a Gscolding wife a Afew short years Dago
And Gever since i Dlead a life of misery and Awoe
My Gwife she is a Dtyrant, around the room and Ain
Ah she'd Dsell me to the Gdevil for a Aglass or two of Dgin
Sure DI'll get up and Ggo to work as Amild as any Dman
and Gshe'll get up an' Ddress herself and go and have her Adram
and Gif i chance to Dsay a word it's well i know my Adoom
she'll Dfollow me with the Gfire shovel Aup and down the Droom
Chorus:
And Gif the devil'd Dtake her, i'd Gthank him for his Dpain,
I Gswear to god I'll Dhang meself if AI get married again Asus4 And Gif the devil'd Dtake her, I'd Gthank him for his Dpain,
Oh, I swear to god I'll Ghang meself if AI get married Dagain
When DI get up at Gbreakfast time she Ataps me on the Dhead
when GI come home at Ddinner time I'll find her drunk in Abed
when GI come home at Dsuppertime with patience I must Astop
Cause she Ddrinks what's in the Gteapot and AI must drink the Dslops
CHORUS
Well Donce I asked me Gscolding wife If AI could go to Dbed
She Gscarce gave me an Dhour upon the pillow to lay me Ahead
when Glike a roarin' Dlion she come busting down the Adoor
she Dcaught me by the Gmiddle and threw me Anaked on the Dfloor
CHORUS
Break: D A G A D A G A D x2
Now Dme and my comGpanions go Ato a public Dplace
She'll Gsearch around the Dneigbourhood until she finds my Aface
she'll Ghoist me up in Dridicule before the compaAny,
saying D"pettycoats is your Gmaster and forAever it shall Dbe!"
CHORUS x4, Last two a capella
The verses of this song are a drone kept by
an accordion and bodhran. chords are those implied.
the acoustic guitar comes in for the choruses,
actually entering with a downbeat on "and..".
