the sun was shining fine,
Lady Lajabah of Old Bill Bailey,
Hanging clothes upon a line,
She married a lorry driver,
who took and threw her down,
that's why she's hollering like
with a big mob hanging round.
darlin', I'll pay the rent
I know I've done you wrong,
do you remember that rainy evening
I drove you out with nothing but
now ain't that a big fat shame?
won't you please come home?
And wept and died the whole night long
darling, I'll pay the rent
But you remember that rainy evening
I'll blow you out with nothing, nothing,
nothing, nothing, nothing
Nothing but a fire in his soul
Now ain't that a big fat shame
won't you please come William,
Come on, come on, come on, come on
