Henry's Songbook

Chorus:
It's a life, a life, a weary weary life
It's better tae be single that tae be a married wife

When I was single I used to comb my hair
Now that I'm married I haven't the time to spare

When I was single I used a powder puff
Now that I'm married I can't afford the stuff

One says Mammy help me oot o' the pram
The other says Mammy give us a piece 'n' jam

One says Mammy help me into the bed
The other says Mammy scratch ma wooden leg

(as sung by Iain MacKintosh & Hamish Imlach)
