Cherish the Ladies - Three weeks we were wed

I'm a ^Ctroubled young ^Fman, my ^Cfriend, as you ^Fever did ^Csee For I married a ^Fdamsel, her ^Cage, it was scarce twenty-^Gthree I'm ^Csorry to tell you, I ^Fmarried this ^Cfalse minded ^Fone For she's ^Cleft me a^Flone and gone ^Goff with a^Fnother young ^Cman

Now the day we were ^Fwed she ^Csaid, "I ^Fwent on a ^Cspree" The neighbour next ^Fdoor, she ^Cswore, was better than ^Gme They go ^Cout every night and stay ^Fdancing the ^Cmorning a^Fway And the ^Cpair leave me ^Fthere to ^Gfair the ^Fbest that I ^Cmay

Well, three weeks we were ^Fwed when this ^Classie, I ^Ftook her to ^Ctown Expenses I ^Fpaid on the ^Cway, I gave her a ^Gcrown I ^Cmet an old friend and ^Fhe pulled ^Cme in for the ^Fdrain And ^Cwhile we were ^Fthere she pre^Gpared, ran ^Foff on the ^Ctrain

When I found she was ^Fgone, like a ^Cmadman, I ^Frushed through the ^Csquare I'll find out a ^Fhole and ^Ctrying to tear out my ^Ghair A ^Cneighbour named Ned, he ^Fstuck out his ^Chand for the ^Fgore "Has you ^Cwife gone a^Fway, will she ^Gnever come ^Fback any^Cmore?"

Buys an acre of ^Fland, I ^Cmight, if I'd a ^Fpig and a ^Ccow A duck and a ^Fdrake, with no ^Cone to take care of us ^Gnow I ^Cselled them all off, I de^Fclare, for I'm ^Ctired for my ^Flife Let the ^Cladies to ^Fdance so ^Glong, and ^Flook for your ^Cwife, (yelp)
