Do you love an apple? Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie with curly brown hair?
Yes, I love him, can't deny him,
I'll go with him where ever he goes.
He works in the pityard for nine bob a week
But Saturday night he comes rollin' home drunk
Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes.
When I was single I wore a plaid shawl
Now that I've married, I wear none at all
Still.....
He stands at the corner a smoke in his mouth,
His hands in his pockets, his whistles me out
Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes
When I was single I'd sport and I'd play,
But now how the cradle, it gets in my way.
He bought me a handkerchief red, white and blue
And then to clean windows he tore it in two
He took me to the alehouse and bought me some stout
Before I could drink it he ordered me out
