When I Was Single
(Trad)
When I was single, I wore a plaid shawl
Now that I'm married, I've nothing at all

Oh, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He came up our alley and he whistled me out
But the tail of his shirt from his trousers hung out

Oh, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He bought me a handkerchief, red, white and blue
But before I could wear it, he tore it in two

Oh, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He brought me to an ale house and he bought me some stout
But before I could drink it, he ordered me out

Oh, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He borrowed some money to buy me a ring
Then he and the jeweller went off on a fling

Oh, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

There's cakes in the oven, there's cheese on the shelf
If you want any more, you can sing it yourself

Oh, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes
