the old woman - susan reed lyrics
[verse 1]
there was an old woman in our town
in our town, did dwell
she loved her husband dearly
but another man twice as well
[chorus]
fa-la, laaa
fa-la, la la la
fa-la, la la
fa-la, la laaa
[verse 2]
she went down to the butcher shop
to see what she could find
intent upon buying something
to make her old man blind
[chorus]
fa-la, laaa
fa-la, la la la
fa-la, la la
fa-la, la laaa
[verse 3]
she got seven-dozen old marrow bones
she made him eat them all
says he, “old woman, i am so blind
i can’t see you at all”
he said, “i’d like to go drown myself
but i cannot see the way”
says she, “old man i’ll help you
just come along with me”
[chorus]
fa-la, laaa
fa-la, la la la
fa-la, la la
fa-la, la laaa
[verse 4]
she took him down to the riverbank
and there she made him stand
while she drew back a few paces
to push him from the land
she took a running jump
to push him off ahead
but the old man stepped aside
and then she went in instead
[chorus]
fa-la, laaa
fa-la, la la la
fa-la, la la
fa-la, la laaa
[verse 5]
“oh husband dear, come save me!”
oh, loudly she did bawl
says he, “old woman, i am so blind
i can’t see you at all”
now, seven-dozen old marrow bones
will make your old man blind
but if you want to k!ll him
you must creep up from behind
