The Unfortunate Man - The Chad Mitchell Trio[00:00:00]

There once was a lawyer they called Mr Clay[00:00:10]

He had but two clients and they wouldn't pay[00:00:14]

At last of starvation he grew so afraid[00:00:20]

That he courted and married a wealthy old maid[00:00:24]

At the wedding the lawyer made one big mistake[00:00:29]

Twas not in omitting the wine or the cake[00:00:33]

The ring was well chosen they had a big feed[00:00:39]

But the lawyer did not get a warranty deed[00:00:43]

He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man[00:00:48]

He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man[00:00:57]

At night in their chamber the lady arose[00:01:06]

And began to prepare to retire and repose[00:01:10]

Her husband sat near her admiring her charms[00:01:15]

That gave him such pleasure to hold in his arms[00:01:20]

She went to the washstand to bathe her fair face[00:01:25]

And thus she destroyed all her beauty and grace[00:01:29]

The rose on her cheek quickly grew very faint[00:01:35]

And he saw on the towel twas nothing but paint[00:01:39]

He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man[00:01:44]

He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man[00:01:53]

She went to the mirror to take down her hair[00:02:01]

And when she had done so her scalp was all bare[00:02:06]

Said she don't be frightened to see my bald head[00:02:11]

I'll put on my cap when I get into bed[00:02:15]

She hung her false hair on the wall on a peg[00:02:20]

Then she proceeded to take off her leg[00:02:25]

Her trembling husband got quite a surprise[00:02:30]

When she asked him to come and take out her glass eye[00:02:34]

Now all you young men who would marry for life[00:02:40]

Be sure to examine your intended wife[00:02:44]

Remember the lawyer who trusted his eyes[00:02:50]

And a little bit later got quite a surprise[00:02:54]

He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man[00:02:59]

He's a very unfortunate very unfortunate very unfortunate man[00:03:08]
