Mrs. Dees:
When I was a maiden truly
Such dreams would fill my head
I thought I'd marry a goodly man
To keep me warm in bed
A goodly man, a shapely man of noble heart and true
Instead I married a shipyard man and now the rent is always overdue
Mrs. Dees and Women:
I thought I'd marry the parson
Mrs. Dees:
To help me say my prayers
Mrs. Dees and Women:
And once I got up off my knees
Mrs. Dees:
He'd chase me up the stairs
Mrs. Dees and Women:
Or I thought I'd marry the butcher's lad
Mrs. Dees:
To bring me Sunday's meat
When I was a maiden truly
Such dreams would fill my head
I thought I'd marry a goodly man
To keep me warm in bed
A goodly man, a shapely man of noble heart and true
Instead I married a shipyard man and now the rent is always overdue

I thought I'd marry the parson
Mrs. Dees:
