The Hair Of The Widow Of Bridlington - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]

She was a widow in Bridlington she was [00:00:09]

Was the widow of Brid [00:00:11]

Small and bonny at forty-two [00:00:12]

With eyes of very unsettling blue [00:00:14]

And what she thought she ought to do[00:00:16]

She did she did she did;[00:00:18]

Whatever she thought she ought to do[00:00:20]

She did did the widow of Brid [00:00:22]

"My only darling's dead he is and[00:00:26]

All my children grown;[00:00:28]

"The house has emptied all the love-birds flown [00:00:30]

"In place of widow's weeds I'll let[00:00:35]

My coal black hair grow long:[00:00:37]

"As glossy as a blackbird's wing [00:00:40]

As cocky as his song "[00:00:44]

She found that she could please herself [00:00:47]

She could could the widow of Brid:[00:00:49]

Swim in the sea when she felt hot [00:00:51]

Stay in bed when she did not [00:00:53]

And she began to laugh a lot [00:00:54]

She did she did she did [00:00:56]

To sing and dance and laugh a lot [00:00:58]

She did did the widow of Brid [00:01:00]

And sometimes she would drop the[00:01:04]

Shopping leave the bed unmade[00:01:06]

And sit till evening on the esplanade [00:01:08]

She'd sometimes go to church[00:01:13]

And call on Jesus by his name [00:01:15]

She fed as any blackbird would [00:01:18]

Whenever hunger came [00:01:22]

She learned to play the violin [00:01:24]

She did did the widow of Brid [00:01:26]

And Saturday night in a drinking shop[00:01:28]

She jumped upon the counter top[00:01:31]

And fiddled till the dancers dropped [00:01:32]

She did she did she did [00:01:34]

Stomping upon the copper top[00:01:36]

She did did the widow of Brid [00:01:37]

And she was fond of fishing boats[00:01:42]

And all their beardy crew[00:01:43]

And partial to a salty kiss or two [00:01:46]

And some of them would gruffly whisper [00:01:51]

"Marry me and stay" [00:01:53]

But blackbirds do their singing from[00:01:56]

A different bush each day [00:02:01]

She had a massive motorbike she had [00:02:03]

Had the widow of Brid [00:02:05]

And so she could when so she wished [00:02:07]

Ride back home early-morningish[00:02:09]

With her hair in the air and smelling of fish [00:02:11]

She did she did she did [00:02:12]

And every time of a different fish [00:02:14]

She did did the widow of Brid [00:02:16]

And though she did no harm the neighbours[00:02:20]

Sniffed as neighbours do [00:02:22]

And day by day a cankerous rancour grew [00:02:24]

And many a pair of front-room curtains[00:02:29]

Twitched and shook with rage [00:02:31]

For she was wild as blackbirds are[00:02:34]

And they were in a cage [00:02:39]

They came and broke her window panes [00:02:41]

They did of the widow of Brid [00:02:43]

Spat upon her cycle shed [00:02:45]

Dragged her out of her Sunday bed[00:02:47]

And cropped her hair and shaved her head [00:02:49]

They did they did they did;[00:02:51]

They chopped the hair and shaved the head [00:02:52]

They did of the widow of Brid [00:02:54]

And when her sobs and hiccups[00:02:59]

Stopped she tidied everywhere [00:03:00]

She cleaned the shed she swept up all the hair [00:03:03]

Some few of them came back in[00:03:08]

Shame to ask her would she stay [00:03:10]

But if you ever startle blackbirds [00:03:13]

Blackbirds go away [00:03:17]

She sold up house and bought a wig [00:03:19]

A wig did the widow of Brid [00:03:21]

And unrepenting undeterred [00:03:23]

She thundered off to cause a stir[00:03:25]

In poor old bloody Scarborough [00:03:27]

She did she did she did [00:03:29]

"Forget the spit and the window pane [00:03:30]

"Bugger Brid I'm still the same [00:03:33]

"My hair will always grow again "[00:03:34]

It did it did it did [00:03:36]

"My hair will always grow again "[00:03:38]

It did it did did did on the widow of Brid[00:03:39]
