Nic Jones - Oh Dear, Rue the Day lyrics

Oh dear rue the day 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 Kiandra I married my old woman to comfort my 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 Oh dear rue the day 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 while I'm at work then my wife's on the rantan Well she's out on the rantan with the other young boys How she just leaves me and she cruelly deceives me And 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 She'd leave you with a baby that's none of your own Oh dear rue the day ever I married How I wish I were single again All this weeping and wailing and rocking the cradle Rocking a baby that's none of my own Rocking a baby that's none of my own
