Jinny Wren Bride

Lyrics

[Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride [Verse 1] I've just come away from the wedding And, Lord, I could laugh till I died I'll never forget the relations I met When I married my Jinny Wren bride [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride [Verse 2] Her brother he works in the dockyard Her pa owns a Marine Store And as for their habits, they breed just like rabbits They own half the cradles on shore [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wrеn bride [Verse 3] I asked her old man for a dowry Hе give me a can of soft soap A bundle of waste and some polishing paste And fifty-four fathoms of rope [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride [Verse 4] Now, the present I got from her sister Was some postal cards labelled "obscene" Her brother, the raper, he give us some paper Six packets of Service Latrine [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride [Verse 5] Her panties were made of pink coral Her bra was two clams held with clips While for her suspenders, a motorboat's fenders Hung from her navel in strips [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride [Verse 6] Now, the most of this strange congregation Was made up of Wrens lined in fours While in the back pew was a generous crew Of New Castle's favorite whores [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride [Verse 7] So now I'm just off on the honeymoon I don't know what happens tonight But I've talked to a few who declare that they do And they swear she's a bit of alright [Chorus] Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride Married, married I married my Jinny Wren bride
