Jolly Captain - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]

Written by：Jake Thackray[00:00:02]

There once was an old captain who wished nothing more[00:00:13]

Than to live again his voyages and walk by the seashore[00:00:17]

A simple man and a good man but the bane of his life[00:00:24]

Was his ill tempered bad hearted b**ch of a wife[00:00:28]

Though the jolly captain was plagued by her bile[00:00:34]

He smoked his long pipe and he smiled upon her tenderly[00:00:38]

He didn't like her much but he'd loved her despite her rough tongue[00:00:43]

The whey faced old nag bag had been his pretty darling once[00:00:48]

She fell down her staircase she fractured her neck[00:00:59]

She lay upon the linoleum in a black apoplexy[00:01:04]

Her baleful eyes bulged with unspeakable abuse[00:01:10]

It seems that her spleen had been overproducing[00:01:15]

So the jolly captain carried her to bed[00:01:21]

Close your poor eyes he said sleep a little peaceably[00:01:25]

He brought her fresh butter and cool watercress[00:01:30]

Violet and peppermint to soothe her heart's bitterness[00:01:35]

From her death bed she said if you marry when I die[00:01:46]

I'll crawl from my coffin to haunt you vexatiously[00:01:51]

With a howl and a scowl with a shudder and a shake[00:01:57]

She spat out her peppermint and went to vex her maker[00:02:02]

Unhappy captain so sad when she died[00:02:07]

He closed her wild eyes and he cried a bit on the Friday[00:02:12]

But he saw no good reason for wasting away[00:02:16]

So he married an apple cheeked girl on the Saturday[00:02:21]

Alas jolly captain you're married too soon[00:02:33]

She'll come to torment you from underneath her tombstone[00:02:38]

She'll scratch and she'll claw her way up from the grave[00:02:44]

Hacking her way back again with furious fingernails[00:02:49]

No said the jolly captain she'll stay in her place[00:02:54]

She can scratch she can scrape till she's black in the face[00:02:58]

No she won't come to haunt me and taunt me I know[00:03:02]

'Cause I buried her face downward she's a long way to go[00:03:07]

No she won't come to haunt me and taunt me I know[00:03:12]

'Cause I buried her face downward she's a long way to go[00:03:17]
