Here I sit, with a babe in arms And another one here within And where's my man? Ah don't you know: he's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life of sin Once he courted me so fine Oh why did I give in? And where's he now? Ah don't you know: he's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life of sin And were it not for my own breast My baby'd die for sure And where's my man? Ah don't you know: he's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life so poor And were it not for this wee baby Well, you know what I'd do Ooh, to my fine man Ah, don't you know: I'd shoot him and put an end to his life of sin And here I sit, with a babe in arms And another one here within And where's my man? Ah don't you know: he's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life of sin
