| lyric | 1. When I was single I wore a black shawl,
now that I’m married I’ve nothing at all.
Ref.: Still I love him, I’ll forgive him,
I’ll go with him whereever he goes.
2. He stands at the corner and whistles me out,
His hands in his pockets, his shirt hanging out.
3. He bought me a handkerchief red white and blue,
And then to clean windows he tore it in two.
4. He comes down our alley and whistles me out,
And when I get there he knocks me about.
5. He took me to the alehouse and bought me some stout,
Before I could drink it he ordered me out. |
