Unconstant Lover

Oh it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve
 And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief
 For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
 But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
 For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have
 But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave
 Oh they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers
 And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours
 They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon
 And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon.
 Ah but when you are married look out for your hub
 'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club
 At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend
 And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend
 At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend
 And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend
 But fortunes are false and a fickle young day
 And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid
 And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
 Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
 And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life
 Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife
