STILL I LOVE HIM

(Click here to listen to 'Still I Love Him')

When I was single I wore a black shawl
Now that I'm married I've no shawl at all

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

Well he stands at the corner and whistles me out
With his hands in his pockets, his shirt hanging out

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He came up to our alley and he whistled me out
The tail of his shirt from his trousers hung out

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He bought me a hankerchief red, white and blue
Before I could wear it he'd tore it in two

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He borrowed some money to buy me a ring
He and the jeweller went off on a fling

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

There's bread in the oven and cheese on the shelf
If you want any more you can sing it yourself

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

He took me to the alehouse and bought me some stout
Before I could drink it, he ordered me out

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes

I don't have a daughter and sons I have none
And none can I give him since what he has done

Still I love him, I'll forgive him
I'll go with him wherever he goes
