I'm a broken-hearted keelman
And I'm o'er head in love
With a young la** from Gyetsid
And I call 'er my dove
Her name's Cushie bu*terfield
And she sells yellow clay
And 'er cousins a muckman
And they call him Tom Gray
CHORUS
She's a big la**
She's a bonny la**
And she likes her beer
And I call her Cushie bu*terfield
And I wish she was here
Her eyes is like two holes
In a blanket burnt through
And her breath in the mornin'
Would scare a young coo
She wears big galoshes
And her stockings once was white
And her bed gown it's lilac
And her hat's never straight
CHORUS
Cushy bu*terfield [Full Version]
Aa's a broken hairted keel man and Aa's ower heed in luv
Wiv a young la** in Gyetsid an Aa caal hor me duv
Hor nyem's Cushie bu*terfield and she sells Yalla clay
And her cousin is a muckman and they caall im Tom Gray
Chorus- She's a big la** an' a bonnie la** an' she likes hor beer
An they caall hor Cushie bu*terfield an' aa wish she war heor
Her eyes are like two holes in a blanket bornt throo
An' her brows in a mornin wad spyen a young coo;
An' when aw heer her shootin "will ye buy ony clay,"
Like a candy man's trumpet, it steels ma young hart away
Ye'll oft see hor doon at Sangit when the fresh harrin cims in
She's like a bagfull o'saadust tied roond wiv a string;
She weers big galoshes tee, an' hor stockins once was white
An' hor bedgoon it's laelock, but hor hat's nivver strite
Chorus
Whan Aa axed hor te marry us, she started te laff;
"Noo, nyen o'yor munkey tricks, for Aa like nee such chaff"
Then she started a' blubblin' an' roared like a bull
An' the cheps on the Keel ses As's nowt but a fyeul
Chorus
She sez "The chep that gets me'll heh to work ivry day
An when he cums hyem at neets hell heh te gan an' seek clay;
An' when he's away seekin't aal myek balls an' sing'
Weel may the keel row that my laddies in !"
Chorus
Noo, aw heer she hes anuther chep, an' he hews at Shipcote'
If aw thowt she wad deceive me, ah'd sure cut me throat;
Aal doon the river sailin, ansing "Aam afloat,"
Biddin addo te Cushy bu*terfield an the chep at Shipcote
Chorus
