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

She was a widow in Bridlington she was[00:00:08]

Was the widow of Brid[00:00:10]

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[00:00:21]

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[00:00:46]

She could could the widow of Brid[00:00:48]

Swim in the sea when she felt hot[00:00:50]

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 shopping leave the bed unmade[00:01:04]

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[00:01:30]

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[00:01:41]

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[00:02:02]

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

And so she could when so she wished[00:02:06]

Ride back home early-morningish[00:02:08]

With her hair in the air and smelling of fish[00:02:10]

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]

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[00:02:58]

Stopped she tidied everywhere[00:02:59]

She cleaned the shed she swept up all the hair[00:03:02]

Some few of them came back in[00:03:07]

Shame to ask her would she stay[00:03:09]

But if you ever startle blackbirds[00:03:12]

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[00:03:26]

She did she did she did[00:03:28]

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

Bugger Brid I'm still the same[00:03:32]

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

It did it did it did[00:03:35]

My hair will always grow again[00:03:37]

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