You married men you know
collected from Shepherd Hayden by Cecil Sharp, Bampton, Oxfordshire, 31st August 1909.
Sharp gave this song the title You married men you know, although Hayden presumably referred to it as You bachelors you know.
- You bachelors you know
To the tavern let us go
We’ll enjoy both our bottle and our wine
So his wife she did come in
And thus she did begin
Crying: husband it is time to come home, to come home
Crying husband it is time to come home. - Come in and sit you down
My joy and heart’s delight
And our reckoning I will call and I will pay
Fill up another quart,
Let it be of the same sort
And what will you drink madam I pray. - And if she calls for any more
The bottles I will break
And the glasses I will dash all on the floor
What could you fellows think
To entice him so to drink
He been rambling all this night with his whore. - And a-coming home at last
He met with a bonny lass
And she was so frolicksome and free
He took her in his arms
And he’s rifled all her charms
Saying: a bachelor’s life now for me.
