Oh dear rue the day that ever I married
How I wish I was single again
All this weeping and wailing
And rocking the cradle
Rocking a baby that’s none of my own
Well I am a young man from the town of ciandra
I married my old woman to comfort me home
But now she just leaves me
And she cruelly deceives me
And she leaves me with a baby that’s none of my own
Well while I’m at work then she’s out on the rantan
She’s out on the rantan with the other young boys
But how she just leaves me
And she cruelly deceives me
And she leaves me with a baby that’s none of my own
So all of you young men who are fixing to marry
Take care that you leave all the flash girls alone
Or by the lord harry if the one you should marry
Should leave you with a baby that’s none of your own
Oh dear rue the day that ever I married
How I wish I was single again
All this weeping and wailing
And rocking the cradle
Rocking a baby that’s none of my own, none of my own, none of my own
