1. When I was a young man I lived easy,
Oh the pleasure
which I did see;
I married me a wife, she prov'd to me unkindly
Oh unkindly she
prov'd to be.
At length I became a Servant unto her,
To milk her Cows and black
her Shoes.
Women's ways the world cannot please them
A poor man's labour is
never done.
2. The very first year that I was married
I scarce could get one
half nights sleep;
With her heals (sic) she pealed my shins
Till the blood ran
trickling dowin my feet
She rob'd me of my bed, she rob'd me of my blanket
Away
then I was oblig'd for to run; '
Women's ways &c.
3. The second year that I was
married,
She bore me a lovely son;
She sat me down to rock the cradle,
And then to learn me for to sing.
Sing loloby, loloby, loloby baby,
Loloby
loloby this I sing;
Women's ways &c.
4. Thus bespoke his good old
mother,
As she sat weeping all alone;
Saying son their's (sic) women
plenty.
And why should you be ti'd to one?
Take the second one and try
her,
If she no better be;
Take the third, the fourth, & the fifth one
Then your troubles will all be free.
5. Come all young men that's mind for to
marry:
Be sure that you get a loving wife;
Do not marry my wive's (sic)
sister,
For she'll torment you all your life.
Neither wed the old woman's
daughter,
For she'll torment you for ever more;
Take from me my wife and
welcome,
And then my troubles will all be o'er
From Contentment,
Douglas
