Oh I feel so very nervous and I'm frightened
for my life
Now boys this time tomorrow I'll be fastened
to a wife
To a great big fat Irish girl whose twice
the size of me
And upon my word I'm doubtful what the
consequences be
Fow she's a great big woman and she knows
the same
Its early in the morning and she'll possess
my name
I feel so very nervous and I don't know
what to do
But tomorrow I'll be buckled onto a twelve
stone two
I'd like to break the contract up but that
would never do
Now life would not be worth two straws
between myself and you
For I know she would not put me in a breach
of promise case
But its with her big fist she would put
some bruises on my face
She made me drunk at Sullivan's and then
sat upon my knee
Now imagine a twelve stone two on a little
chap like me
It was she did all the courting I had
no words to say
For I was like a little lamb I gave myself
away
