Bald Headed End Of The Broom

歌詞

Oh love it is a funny funny thing It affects both young and old Like a plate of burning ash Many's the man that is sold Make you feel like a fresh water eel Cause your head to swell You will lose your mind 'cause love is blind You will empty your pocket as well Boys I say from the girls keep away Give them lots of room When you're wed they will hit you on the head With the bald-headed end of the broom When a man is in love with a pretty little girl He will talk to her gentle as a dove Give her all his money and he'll call her honey And it's all for fun and love When the money's all spent and you can't pay the rent You'll find the story's true That a mole in the arm's worth two in the leg What's he going to do? Boys I say from the girls keep away Give them lots of room When you're wed they will hit you on the head With the bald-headed end of the broom With a wife and fifteen half-starved kids You will find that it is no fun When the butcher comes around to collect his dues With his dog and the double-barrelled gun Screaming baby on each knee Plaster on your nose You'll find true love don't run very smooth When you wear those pawnshop clothes Boys I say from the girls keep away Give them lots of room When you're wed they will hit you on the head With the bald-headed end of the broom So now my boys take my advice Don't be in any hurry to wed You'll think you're in clover till the honeymoon is over Then you'll wish you were dead When the rents are high and the children cry For want of hash to chaw You'll find his son's gonna pick up his gun And shoot his mother-in-law. Boys I say from the girls keep away Give them lots of room When you're wed they will hit you on the head With the bald-headed end of the broom Oh love it is a funny funny thing It affects both young and old Like a plate of burning ash Many's the man that is sold Make you feel like a fresh water eel Cause your head to swell You will lose your mind 'cause love is blind You will empty your pocket as well Boys I say from the girls keep away Give them lots of room When you're wed they will hit you on the head With the bald-headed end of the broom
