'Ah wot's the use ' she sez 'Lea' me aloneA
Why can't I go to 'ell in my own wayB
I never arst you 'ere to mag an' moanA
Nor yet ' she sez 'to prayB
I'll take wot's comin' an' whine no excuseC
So wot's the useC
-
'Me life's me own ' she sez 'You got a nerveD
You two to interfere in my affairsE
Git out an' give advise where it may serveD
Stay 'ome an' bleat yer pray'rsE
Did I come pleadin' for yer pity NoF
Well why not go '-
-
Pride Dilly pride an' down an' out despairG
When them two meet there's somethin' got to breakH
I got that way to see 'er sittin' thereG
I felt like I could takeH
That 'arf starved frame uv 'er's by might an' mainI
An' shake 'er saneI
-
That's 'ow it is when me an' parson roamJ
Down to the paradise wot Spadgers knowsE
To find the 'ovel that she calls 'er 'omeJ
An' 'ave a word with RoseE
Imgagin' 'igh strung cliners in disputeK
Ain't my long suitK
-
'Huh Rescue work ' she sneers 'Er eyes is brightL
'Er voice is 'ard 'I'm a deservin' caseE
Me Fancy Don't I look a pretty sightL
To come to savin' graceE
Pity the sinner Aw don't come that trickM
It makes me sick '-
-
'Isterical she was or nearly soF
Too little grub an' too much time to fretN
Ingrowin' grouch sich as few women knowF
Or want to know an' yetN
When I glance at the parson there I seeE
Raw miseryE
-
I've knowed ole Snowy since the days uv oldO
Yet never 'ad I got so close to seeE
A world wise man 'oo's 'cart is all pure goldO
An' 'uman charityE
For all that girl was suff'rln' well I knooF
'E suffered tooP
-
'My child ' 'e sez 'I don't come 'ere to preachQ
You're a good girl an' when ' 'Oo sez I ain'tR
'Oo sez I ain't ' 'Er voice is near a screechQ
'I'm no hymn singin' saintR
But you're a bit too previous givin' meE
This third degree '-
-
An' then she starts to laugh I'd 'ate to seeE
A woman laugh or look like that againF
She's in the dinkum 'igh strikes now to meE
That's showin' pretty plainF
She's like a torchered thing 'arf crazy wildS
'Take thort my childS
-
'Take thort ' the parson sez 'I only askT
Before you risk all for a life uv crimeJ
You'll 'esitate Is that too 'ard to taskT
May there not come a time '-
'Time Yes ' I chips 'You'll git that fer yer painsE
Ar brush yer brains '-
-
The parson sighs 'This man ' 'E sez 'this WeggT
'Oo dazzles you with tork uv gains frum sinF
Is 'e dependable Think well I beg '-
'Beg nothin' ' I chips inF
'To beg decoy ducks ain't the proper tackT
She wants a smack '-
-
The parson groans 'I've offered you ' 'e startsE
'Offer 'er nothin' Can't you pick 'er likeT
No dinkum 'elp is any good to tartsE
' o'd fall fer sich as SpikeT
She's short uv grit to battle on 'er ownF
An' stand alone '-
-
That done it If I'd let the parson goneF
An' come the mild an' gentle sure enoughU
She'd 'ad the willies When the dames take onF
The game's to treat 'em roughU
That's wot I've 'card It woke Rose up all rightL
An' full uv fightL
-
'Alone ' she sez 'I've stood alone Gawd knowsE
Alone an' honest battlin' on the squareG
An' now Oh damn your charity I've choseE
I'm down an' I don't careG
I'm fer the easy life an' pretty clo'esE
That's that ' sez RoseE
-
The cause looks blue Wot more was to be saidV
An' then all on me own I weaves right thereG
The bright idear wot after bowed me 'eadV
In sorrer an' despairG
I didn't ort to be let out aloneF
That much I ownF
-
'Ah well ' I sez resigned 'if that's the lifeW
It's no use sayin' wot I come to sayE
Which was ' I sez 'a message frum me wifeW
Arstin' you 'ome to stay '-
'Your wife ' I nods 'If you 'ad cared to come '-
She seems struck dumbJ
-
'Your wife ' she sez 'Wot does she know uv me '-
Then pride an' 'er suspicions makes 'er flareG
'Is this more pretty schemes fer charityV
Why should she arst me there '-
'Why Well you ort to know ' I answer quickT
'Account uv Mick '-
-
Down on 'er folded arms 'er 'ead went flopX
At larst our 'oly cause is won I knowF
She sobbed until I thort she'd never stopX
It 'urt to see 'er soF
Yet I felt glad the way I'd worked me nobY
An' let 'er sobY
-
'That's tore it ' I remarks be'ind me 'andV
The parson nods 'E's smilin' now all gayE
Ten minutes later an' the 'ole thing's plannedV
Fer Rose's 'olidayV
We put the acid on an' scold an' teaseE
Till she agreesE
-
Once we're outside the parson takes me 'andV
'Without your 'elp your wit we would 'ave failed '-
'Aw easy work ' I answer feelin' grandV
Like some ole knight tin mailedV
Then sudden like a load uv punchered tyresE
Me pride ixpiresE
-
'Young friend ' 'e starts 'No not too young but oldV
Old with the cares ' I sez 'uv fambly lifeW
This might 'ave been dead right when knights was boldV
But wot about me wifeW
She don't know nothin' I 'ave done me dashZ
Through actin' rash '-
-
'A trifle ' sez 'is rev'rince 'Tut ' sez 'eA2
'I'll promise you fair sailin' with Doreen '-
''Tain't that so much ' I sez 'wot troubles me '-
'Trouble Wot you mean '-
I grins at 'im 'Me conscience ' I replyB2
'I've tole a lie '-
