Salla Day - Cumberland Head Ferry Blues lyrics

If I'm a bride left at the altar Jilted, I falter He's no prince across the water For a grocer's daughter There'll be no love There'll be no love A silly grin and grease on his shoes The poor boy blues Works on a ferry line He ain't the marrying kind There'll be no love Though it's taken ages There'll be no love Not on a deckhand's wages Willie, he winked his eye He heard me sigh I saw him March across the room And all too soon I met my doom He took me in his arms Like a fool I lost me cool His hands found A way to my breast My hips they slip He bit my lip You'll get no milk today Willie o' Willie The shame, the sin Willie o' Willie Don't tickle my chin Willie o' Willie I musn't give in I won't blacken You boots today Sally o' Sally A beer for me Sally o' Sally Now make it three Sally o' Sally Come sit on my knee And I'll darken Your door today It takes two to tango Two to bicker La**ie I'm outta liquor A ten spot For a red hot And I'm outta here Come back to bed Rub my head Why don'tja Lay with me awhile Make me smile Oh, by the way I lost my job today Willie 'o Willie Now lemme sleep Willie 'o Willie You effin' creep Willie 'o Willie You're making me weep Don't darken My door today Sally 'o Sally You're better than this Sally 'o Sally Don't judge amiss Sally 'o Sally It's just a kiss Come blacken My boots today When the push comes to shove You call it love And in a coldwater flat You say I'm fat There'll be no love Though it's taken ages There'll be no love Not on a deckhand's wages
