Für mi hat's nimma gstimmt
hab ghandlt wie a Kind
wollt frei sei
frei von dir
a wenn i di verlier
daß des net richtig war
das wird mir langsam klar:
Jedn Tag a bisserl mehr !
Jedn Tag a bisserl mehr !
Mei Stolz war mir im Weg
hab nie zoagt
wie's mir geht
doch aufgebn woltt i nie
hab denkt
's geht ohne di !
Doch des fällt mir so schwer
denn i vermiß di sehr:
Jedn Tag a bisserl mehr !
Jedn Tag a bisserl mehr !
Geht's dir manchmoi so wie mir
hast du dann
Scolding Wife
Well I came unto a scolding wife
A few short years ago
And ever since, I lead a life of misery and woe
My wife, she is a tyrant
Around the brew (?) and in
Oh, to sell her to the devil
For a glass or two of gin
Should I get up and go to work
As smart as any man
And she'll get up and dress herself
And go and have her dram
And if I chance to say a word
As well I know my doom
She'll follow me with the fire shovel up and down the room
CHORUS
And if the devil would take her,
I'd thank him for his pain
I swear to god I'll hang meself
If I get married again
And if the devil would take her,
I'd thank him for his pain
I swear to god I'll hang meself
If I get married again
Well once I asked me scoldin' wife
If I could go to bed
She scarce gave me an hour on the pillow to lay me head
When like a roarin' lion
She came bustin' down the door
She caught me by the middle
And threw me naked on the floor
Chorus
Well me and my companions
Go to a public place
She'll search around the neighborhood
Until she finds my face
She'll hoist me up in ridicule
Before the company
Saying: 'Petticoats is your master and forever horse you'll be!"
