Frank Purslow - The Shoemaker's Kiss lyrics

There was'n old woman lived down in the West So green as the leaves they are green – green, green, green So green as the leaves they are green! She had a fine daughter that never was kissed And you know very well what I mean, mean, mean, mean – You know very well what I mean! One morning she rose up and put on her clothes So green as the leaves they are green – green, green, green So green as the leaves they are green! And down to the shoemaker's shop she then goes And you know very well what I mean, mean, mean, mean – You know very well what I mean! "Shoemaker, shoemaker, do you have any shoes?" So green as the leaves they are green – green, green, green So green as the leaves they are green! "Oh, yes, pretty maiden, I think I'll fit you!" And you know very well what I mean, mean, mean, mean – You know very well what I mean! So into the shoemaker's shop she did trip So green as the leaves they are green – green, green, green So green as the leaves they are green! Good Lord! How he caught her and kissed her sweet lips And you know very well what I mean, mean, mean, mean – You know very well what I mean! But when twenty-four weeks they was over and come So green as the leaves they are green – green, green, green So green as the leaves they are green! This pretty young girl had a big, bouncing son And you know very well what I mean, mean, mean, mean – You know very well what I mean! "Oh daughter! Oh daughter! How come you like this?" So green as the leaves they are green – green, green, green So green as the leaves they are green! "Oh mother! Oh mother! 'Twas that shoemaker's kiss!" And you know very well what I mean, mean, mean, mean – You know very well what I mean!
