I'll be your second LISTON	A
	-
	-
In Middle Row some years ago	B
There lived one Mr Brown	C
And many folks considered him	D
The stoutest man in town	C
	-
But Brown and stout will both wear out	E
One Friday he died hard	F
And left a widow'd wife to mourn	G
At twenty pence a yard	F
	-
Now widow B in two short months	H
Thought mourning quite a tax	I
And wished like Mr Wilberforce	J
To manumit her blacks	I
	-
With Mr Street she soon was sweet	K
The thing came thus about	E
She asked him in at home and then	L
At church he asked her out	E
	-
Assurance such as this the man	M
In ashes could not stand	N
So like a Phoenix he rose up	O
Against the Hand in Hand	N
	-
One dreary night the angry sprite	P
Appeared before her view	Q
It came a little after one	A
But she was after two	Q
	-
O Mrs B O Mrs B	R
Are these your sorrow's deeds	S
Already getting up a flame	T
To burn your widows' weeds	S
	-
It's not so long since I have left	U
For aye the mortal scene	V
My memory like Rogers's	W
Should still be bound in green	V
	-
Yet if my face you still retrace	X
I almost have a doubt	E
I'm like an old Forget me not	Y
With all the leaves torn out	E
	-
To think that on that finger joint	Z
Another pledge should cling	A2
O Bess upon my very soul	B2
It struck like 'Knock and Ring '	-
	-
A ton of marble on my breast	C2
Can't hinder my return	D2
Your conduct ma'am has set my blood	E2
A boiling in my urn	D2
	-
Remember oh remember how	F2
The marriage rite did run	A
If ever we one flesh should be	R
'Tis now when I have none	A
	-
And you Sir once a bosom friend	G2
Of perjured faith convict	H2
As ghostly toe can give no blow	B
Consider you are kick'd	H2
	-
A hollow voice is all I have	I2
But this I tell you plain	J2
Marry come up you marry ma'am	K2
And I'll come up again	L
	-
More he had said but chanticleer	L2
The spritely shade did shock	M2
With sudden crow and off he went	N2
Like fowling piece at cock	M2
