š Lyrics
Geraniums in the window
Hydrangeas on the lawn
And breakfast in the kitchen
In the timid pink of dawn
And you to blow me kisses
When I headed for the sea
We might have been a happy pair
Of lovers, mightn't have we?
And coming home at twilight
It might have been so sweet
To take my catch of herring
And lay them at your feet
I might have had a baby
That 't would end all on my knee
But all these things that might have been
Are never, never to be
I never see it yet to fail
I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with a virtuous man
Is doomed to weep and wail
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothing so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good
Nice talk
My mother used to say to me
"When you grow up, my son
I hope you're a bum like your father was
'Cause a good man ain't no fun"
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothing so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
Bastard cream pie!
Hey, Jigger, don't you think weā?
Huh? Aw, when are we gonna start that treasure hunt?
Right now! Y'all got your partners? Two men to
Each team. You got half an hour to find the treasure
The winners can kiss any girls they want!
Billy, are you going with Jigger? Don't you think that's foolish?
Why?
Neither one of you knows the island
Good. You ought to split up. Go with
But we're partners, see? C'mon, Jigger
I don't know what gets into men. Enoch put on
A new suit today, and he was a different person
I never see it yet to fail
I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with any man
Is doomed to weep and wail
The clock just ticks your life away
There's no relief in sight
It's cooking and scrubbing and sewing all day
And God knows what all night
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothing so bad for a woman
As a man who's bad or good
Hydrangeas on the lawn
And breakfast in the kitchen
In the timid pink of dawn
And you to blow me kisses
When I headed for the sea
We might have been a happy pair
Of lovers, mightn't have we?
And coming home at twilight
It might have been so sweet
To take my catch of herring
And lay them at your feet
I might have had a baby
That 't would end all on my knee
But all these things that might have been
Are never, never to be
I never see it yet to fail
I never see it fail
A girl who's in love with a virtuous man
Is doomed to weep and wail
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothing so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good
Nice talk

"When you grow up, my son
I hope you're a bum like your father was
'Cause a good man ain't no fun"
Stonecutters cut it on stone
Woodpeckers peck it on wood
There's nothing so bad for a woman
As a man who thinks he's good
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
'Tain't so
'Tis too
