Husband With No Courage In Him

Husband with no courage in him

As I walked out one summer's day

To view the fields and the lizards springing

I saw two maidens standing by

And one of them her hands was wringing

And all of her conversation was

My husband's got no courage in him,

Oh dear, no oh dear, no,

My husband's got no courage in him, oh dear, no

All sorts of meat I do preserve

All sorts of drink that's fitting for him

Both oyster pies and rhubarb too

But nothing will put courage in him

It's seven years I've made his bed

And six of them I've laid agin him

And this morn I rose with my maidenhead

Now that shows he's got no courage in him
