A fun and upbeat 3-chord folk song about a woman who's husband is a complete disaster area. As arranged by Nottinghamshire folk singer Ruth Notman on the album 'Threads'. A D A D When I was single I wore a plaid shawl, A D A E But now that I?m married, I?ve nothing at all, A E A D Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him, A D E A I will go with him wherever he goes. (Instrumental break) A E A D A D E A
A D A D He came to a rally and whistled me out, A D A E The tail of his shirt from his trousers hung out, A E A D Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him, A D E A I will go with him wherever he goes. (Shorter instrumental break) A D E A A D A D He bought me a handkerchief, red white and blue, A D A E But before I could wear it he tore it in two, A E A D Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him, A D E A I will go with him wherever he goes. (Big ol' fiddle, squeezebox and banjo instrumental break) A D A D A D A E A E A D A D E A A D A D He borrowed some money to buy me a ring, A D A E But he and the jeweller went off on a fling, A E A D Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him, A D E A I will go with him wherever he goes. A D A D There?s bread in the oven and cheese on the shelf, A D A E So if you want any more you can sing it yourself, A E A D Oh but still I love him, I?ll forgive him, A D E A I will go with him wherever he goes. (Instrumental & Ad lib vocals)
