BPM: 92 Released: 2006 Album: Get On With It [Intro] [Verse 1] A husband came home drunk each night And he thrashed her black and he thrashed her white He thrashed her to within an inch of her life Then he slept like a log did her husband. [Verse 2] As he lay and snored in bed A strange idea came into her head She went for the needle and she went for the thread And straight to her sleeping husband. [Interlude] [Verse 3] She started to stitch with a girlish thrill With a woman’s art and a seamstress’ skill She pinned and tucked with an iron will All around her sleeping husband. [Verse 4] Husband awoke with a pain in his head He found he could not move in bed "Sweet Christ I’ve lost the use of me legs!" Wife just smiled at her husband. [Interlude] [Verse 5] She thrashed him black she thrashed him blue With a frying pan and a colander too With a rolling pin just a stroke or two A battered and bleeding husband. [Verse 6] Isn’t it true what small can do With thread and stitch and thought or two He’s wiped his slate his boozing’s through Goodbye to a drunken husband. [Outro]
