You'll understand of course, I was cross about the lossSame as any other human woman wouldBut I soon got over that, what with "two-out" and a chat'Cos it's little things like that what does you good.
Verse 3:Oh! I'm in such a mess - I don't know the new address -Don't even know the blessed neighbourhoodAnd I feel as if I might have to stay out all the night
~~~~~,::~~~II don't make no ~omplaint, but. I!l11 coming over faintWhat I want now is a good substantial feedAnd I sort 0' kind 0' feel, if I don't soon have a mealI shall have to rob the linnett of his seed.
