Maura O'Connell - Unconstant Lover
[Intro]
G   D   G
[Verse 1]
Oh, it's meetings a pleasure and it's Dparting a Ggrieve
And an unconstant lover is Dworse not a thief
For the Emthief he will rob you and just Csteal what you have
But an Gunconstant lover will Dfollow you to your Ggrave
The Emthief he will rob you and just Csteal what you have
But an Gunconstant lover will Dfollow you to your Ggrave
[Chorus]
Oh, they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine Cgarments and flowers
And they'll Gcall in at tea-time to Dpay their devours
They'll Emswear that they love you by the Clight of the moon
And proGpose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at DTaylor's SaGloon
[Verse 2]
Ah, but when you are married, look Dout for your Ghub
'Cause evenings you spend at the Dold fellows' club
At the Emofficer's store he was Ckept, he'll pretend
And Gso he was too, drinking Drum with a Gfriend
At the Emofficer's store he was Ckept, he'll pretend
And Gso he was too, drinking Drum with a Gfriend
[Verse 3]
But Gfortunes are false and a Dfickle young Gday
And it's worse than bad luck for to Ddie an old maid
And the Embest of all blessings we can Cmeet in this life
Is a Gkind, loving husband and a Dgood-tempered Gwife
And the Embest of all blessings we can Cmeet in this life
Is a Gkind, loving husband and a Dgood-tempered Gwife
[Outro]
G    D  G   D  G
