A fun and upbeat 3-chord folk song about a woman who's husband is a complete
disaster area.
As arranged by Nottinghamshire folk singer Ruth Notman on the album 'Threads'.
A D A D
When I was single I wore a plaid shawl,
A D A E
But now that I’m married, I’ve nothing at all,
A E A D
Oh but still I love him, I’ll forgive him,
A D E A
I will go with him wherever he goes.
(Instrumental break)

A D A D
He came to a rally and whistled me out,
A D A E
The tail of his shirt from his trousers hung out,
A E A D
Oh but still I love him, I’ll forgive him,
A D E A
I will go with him wherever he goes.
(Shorter instrumental break)
A D E A
A D A D
He bought me a handkerchief, red white and blue,
A D A E
But before I could wear it he tore it in two,
A E A D
Oh but still I love him, I’ll forgive him,
A D E A
I will go with him wherever he goes.
(Big ol' fiddle, squeezebox and banjo instrumental break)

A D E A
A D A D
He borrowed some money to buy me a ring,
A D A E
But he and the jeweller went off on a fling,
A E A D
Oh but still I love him, I’ll forgive him,
A D E A
I will go with him wherever he goes.
A D A D
There’s bread in the oven and cheese on the shelf,
A D A E
So if you want any more you can sing it yourself,
A E A D
Oh but still I love him, I’ll forgive him,
A D E A
I will go with him wherever he goes.
