Mother, I will have a husband
J. Gardner
Mother, I will have a husband,
And I will have him out of hand.
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.
John-a-Dun should have had me long ere this,
He said I had good lips to kiss.
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.
For I have heard 'tis trim when folks do love,
By good Sir John I swear I'll prove.
My other I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.
To the town therefore will I gad,
To get me a husband good or bad.
Mother I will have a husband,
And I will have him out of hand.
Mother, I will sure have one,
In spite of her that will have none.
