| Lyrics: | The Chandler's Wife
A tailor boy went to the chandler's shop, some candles for to
buy
But when he got there and looked around, no chandler could he spy
So then he shouted
loudly out, fit to raise the dead,
When he heard the sound of a * * * , right above his
head.(2X)
Well, the tailor boy being a smart young lad, e bounded up the
stairs
Determined to find out who it was,and catch them unawares
And there he found the
master, with the mistress, making free
And they were having a * * * as plain as he could see
(2X)
Now when the master's job was done, the mistress turned her head
And there she
spied the tailor boy, a-standing by the bed
She said to him, "If you'll agree to what I have
in mind,
Why you can come up for a * * *, whenever you're so inclined." (2X)
So
listen all ye married men, who travel from town to town
You'd better keep your wife locked up,
you'd better tie her down
For If you do not heed me, just as sure as you have a wife,
Why,
she'll be having a * * * most every day of her life.
