The Unfortunate Miss Bailey - The Kingston Trio[00:00:00]

In seventeen forty two it was customary in the township of Halifax[00:00:06]

For a gentleman to partake occasionally of Ratliff[00:00:10]

Which was a light flavored liquor of amazing potency[00:00:14]

Which originated in middle sex[00:00:18]

And which we suppose is the reason for this song[00:00:20]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:00:27]

A captain bold in Halifax who dwelt in country quarters[00:00:32]

Seduced a maid who hung herself one Monday in her garters[00:00:36]

His wicked conscience smitted him he lost his stomach daily[00:00:40]

He took to drinking Ratliff and thought upon miss bailey[00:00:44]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:00:50]

One night betimes he went to bed for he had caught the fever[00:00:55]

Said he I am a handsome man and I'm a gay deceiver[00:00:59]

His candle just a twelve o'clock began to burn quite palely[00:01:03]

A ghost stepped up to his bedside and said behold miss bailey[00:01:07]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:01:13]

Avast miss bailey then he cried you can't affright me really[00:01:18]

Dear captain smith the ghost replied you used me ungenteelly[00:01:22]

The coroner's quest goes hard with me because I've acted freely[00:01:26]

And parson biggs won't bury me though I'm a dead miss bailey[00:01:30]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:01:36]

Dear mam says he since you and I must once for all accounts close[00:01:41]

I have a one pound note in my regimental small clothes[00:01:45]

'Twill bribe the sexton for your grave the ghost then answered gaily[00:01:49]

Bless you wicked captain smith remember poor miss bailey[00:01:52]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:02:00]

All's well that ends well I suppose[00:02:07]
