When I was single I wore a plaid shawl
Now that I'm married I've nothing at all
Ah, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes
He came to our alley and whistled me out
A tail of the shirt from his trousers hung out
Ah, 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
Ah, 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
Ah, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes
There's bread in the oven and cheese on the shelf
So if you want anymore you can sing it yourself
Ah, but still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes
