The Unfortunate Miss Bailey(From the Album Here We Go Again) - The Kingston Trio[00:00:00]

In seventeen forty-two it was customary in the township of halifax[00:00:05]

For a gentleman to partake occasionally of ratafia[00:00:11]

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

Which originated in middle sex[00:00:19]

And which we suppose is the reason for this song[00:00:21]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:00:28]

A captain bold in halifax who dwelt in country quarters[00:00:33]

Seduced a maid who hung herself one monday in her garters[00:00:37]

His wicked conscience smitted him he lost his stomach daily[00:00:41]

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

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:00:51]

One night betimes he went to bed for he had caught the fever[00:00:56]

Said he I am a handsome man and I'm a gay deceiver[00:01:00]

His candle just a twelve o'clock began to burn quite palely[00:01:04]

A ghost stepped up to his bedside and said behold miss bailey[00:01:08]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:01:14]

Avast miss bailey then he cried you can't affright me really[00:01:20]

Dear captain smith the ghost replied you used me ungenteelly[00:01:24]

The coroner's quest goes hard with me because I've acted freely[00:01:28]

And parson biggs won't bury me though I'm a dead miss bailey[00:01:31]

Oh miss bailey unfortunate miss bailey[00:01:38]

Dear mam says he since you and I must once for all accounts close[00:01:42]

I have a one pound note in my regimental small clothes[00:01:46]

'Twill bribe the sexton for your grave the ghost then answered gaily[00:01:50]

Bless you wicked captain smith remember poor miss bailey[00:01:54]

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

All's well that ends well I suppose[00:02:09]
