Lyrics:
First verse
I'm as happy as I can be, I don't care what becomes of me, You'd appreciate liberty, If you were sentenced and then got free. The sentence I had was a suffragette, The day for our wedding I now forget, I couldn't get married ‘cause I was in debt, Then some other fellow he stole my pet. I feel so bad, He can have all I ever had.
Chorus
I just met the fellow that married the girl that I was going to get, He looked at me indignantly, For he was the dummy that I was to be. I shook him by the hand, Said, ""Welcome to our land,"" The noble Hero that married the girl that I was going to get. I just met the fellow that married the girl that I was going to get, He looked at me indignantly, For he was the dummy that I was to be. I shook him by the hand, Said, ""Welcome to our land,"" The noble Hero that married the girl that I was going to get.
Second verse
Now they're married and years have past, He looks as tho' he was sinking fast, He must have gone thro' an awful blast, And I don’t know just how long he’ll last. He once was lively but now he’s calm, His wifey dear holds him in her palm, He looks as tho’ he could do us harm, I said as I grabbed hiim by the arm, Throw out your chest, You fought for the cause you love best.
(Chorus)
