My Husband’s Got No  Courage - The Once

As I went out one May morning

To view the fields and leaves a springing

I saw two maidens standing by

And one of them her hands was wringing

Oh dear oh oh dear oh

Me husband's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh

My husband's admired wherever he goes

And everyone looks well upon him

With his handsome features and well shaped leg

But still he's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh oh dear oh

Me husband's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh

Every night when I go to bed

I lie and throw me leg right or him

My hand I clamp between his thighs

But I can't put any courage in him

Oh dear oh oh dear oh

Me husband's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh oh dear oh

Me husband's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh

Seven long years I've made his bed

Every night I've lain beside him

This morning I rose with me maidenhead

For still he's got no courage in him

I wish my husband he was dead

And in his grave I'd quickly lay him

Then I'd find another one

That had a little courage in him

Oh dear oh

Me husband's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh

Oh dear oh oh dear oh

Me husband's got no courage in him

Oh dear oh
