Jolly Captain(2006 Digital Remaster)

Jolly Captain - Jake Thackray[00:00:01]

There once was an old captain who[00:00:13]

Wished nothing more[00:00:16]

Than to live again his voyages and[00:00:17]

Walk by the seashore [00:00:20]

A simple man and a good man [00:00:24]

But the bane of his life[00:00:26]

Was his ill-tempered bad-hearted[00:00:28]

Bitch of a wife [00:00:31]

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

He smoked his long pipe and[00:00:38]

He smiled upon her tenderly [00:00:40]

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

Despite her rough tongue[00:00:45]

The whey-faced old nag-bag had[00:00:48]

Been his pretty darling once[00:00:50]

She fell down her staircase she fractured her neck [00:01:00]

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

Her baleful eyes bulged with unspeakable abuse:[00:01:11]

It seems that her spleen had been overproducing[00:01:16]

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

"Close your poor eyes " he said [00:01:25]

"sleep a little peaceably" [00:01:28]

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

Violet and peppermint to soothe[00:01:35]

Her heart's bitterness[00:01:38]

From her death bed she said "[00:01:47]

If you marry when I die[00:01:49]

"I'll crawl from my coffin to[00:01:52]

Haunt you vexatiously" [00:01:54]

With a howl and a scowl with a[00:01:58]

Shudder and a shake[00:02:00]

She spat out her peppermint[00:02:02]

And went to vex her maker [00:02:05]

Unhappy captain so sad when she died [00:02:08]

He closed her wild eyes and[00:02:12]

He cried a bit on the Friday [00:02:14]

But he saw no good reason[00:02:17]

For wasting away [00:02:19]

So he married an apple-cheeked[00:02:21]

Girl on the Saturday[00:02:24]

Alas jolly captain you're married too soon [00:02:34]

She'll come to torment you[00:02:38]

From underneath her tombstone [00:02:41]

She'll scratch and she'll claw her[00:02:44]

Way up from the grave [00:02:47]

Hacking her way back again[00:02:50]

With furious fingernails [00:02:52]

"No " said the jolly captain [00:02:55]

"she'll stay in her place [00:02:57]

"She can scratch she can scrape [00:02:58]

Till she's black in the face [00:03:01]

"No she won't come to haunt[00:03:03]

Me and taunt me I know [00:03:05]

"'Cause I buried her face downward [00:03:08]

She's a long way to go [00:03:11]

"No she won't come to haunt me[00:03:12]

And taunt me I know [00:03:15]

"'Cause I buried her face downward [00:03:17]

She's a long way to go "[00:03:20]
