Lyrics

As I roved out one May morning
To view the fields and leaves a-springin'
I saw two maidens standing by
And one of them her hands was wringin'
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
All sorts of victuals I did provide
All sorts of meats that's fittin' for him
With oyster pie and rhubarb too
But nothing will put courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
My husband can dance and caper and sing
And do anything that's fittin' for him
But he can't do the thing I want
Because he's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
My husband's admired where'er he goes
And everyone looks well upon him
With his handsome features an' well-shaped leg
But he hasn't any courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
Every night when I go to bed
I lie and throw my leg rights o'er him
And my hand I clap between his thighs
But nothing will put courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
Seven long years I've made his bed
And every night I've lain beside him
And this morning I rose with me maidenhead
For still he has no courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
I wish my husband he was dead
And in his grave I'd quickly lay him
And then I'd get another one
Who's got a little courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
Come all you maids, where'er you be
Don't marry a man before you try him
Or else you'll sing a song like me
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o, oh dear-o
My husband's got no courage in him
Oh dear-o
