lyrics

The love child of a soldier and a Northern girl
He saw the world as his playground
He used, abused, borrowed and begged
Stole and lied his way into bed all over town
His reputation passed expectation; he soon performed across the nation
Without much hesitation
He danced around waved it about till it got big
The women passed out in sweet elation

Take you down to the barnyard, you’ll be my sheep
Go fetch my soapbox girl, gonna earn your keep

He joined the army then far away met a girl who came
back home to stay at his house, the army kicked him out
He departed in shame gave her the blame,
Things weren’t quite the same ever again and now she wanted out
Four children later she got her wish, he left without a note or kiss goodbye,
He left his pride
‘I’m left alone in this foreign land, this is not what I had planned’
She sighed, then got on with life

What happened next?
You wouldn’t have guessed
He put the rope around his neck
Kicked the chair and swung his leg

On 17th June the man fell down as he cried and then he died
He left behind a trail of hungry children and lonely wives whom he’d despised
In every town across the land a mistress sheds tears of lust, salt on the busts
Which used to give such comfort to the lonely man you could not trust
