[00:00:01] Jolly Captain - Jake Thackray

[00:00:13] There once was an old captain who

[00:00:16] Wished nothing more

[00:00:17] Than to live again his voyages and

[00:00:20] Walk by the seashore

[00:00:24] A simple man and a good man

[00:00:26] But the bane of his life

[00:00:28] Was his ill-tempered bad-hearted

[00:00:31] Bitch of a wife

[00:00:34] Though the jolly captain was plagued by her bile

[00:00:38] He smoked his long pipe and

[00:00:40] He smiled upon her tenderly

[00:00:43] He didn't like her much but he'd loved her

[00:00:45] Despite her rough tongue

[00:00:48] The whey-faced old nag-bag had

[00:00:50] Been his pretty darling once

[00:01:00] She fell down her staircase she fractured her neck

[00:01:04] She lay upon the linoleum in a black apoplexy

[00:01:11] Her baleful eyes bulged with unspeakable abuse:

[00:01:16] It seems that her spleen had been overproducing

[00:01:21] So the jolly captain carried her to bed

[00:01:25] "Close your poor eyes " he said

[00:01:28] "sleep a little peaceably"

[00:01:30] He brought her fresh butter and cool watercress

[00:01:35] Violet and peppermint to soothe

[00:01:38] Her heart's bitterness

[00:01:47] From her death bed she said "

[00:01:49] If you marry when I die

[00:01:52] "I'll crawl from my coffin to

[00:01:54] Haunt you vexatiously"

[00:01:58] With a howl and a scowl with a

[00:02:00] Shudder and a shake

[00:02:02] She spat out her peppermint

[00:02:05] And went to vex her maker

[00:02:08] Unhappy captain so sad when she died

[00:02:12] He closed her wild eyes and

[00:02:14] He cried a bit on the Friday

[00:02:17] But he saw no good reason

[00:02:19] For wasting away

[00:02:21] So he married an apple-cheeked

[00:02:24] Girl on the Saturday

[00:02:34] Alas jolly captain you're married too soon

[00:02:38] She'll come to torment you

[00:02:41] From underneath her tombstone

[00:02:44] She'll scratch and she'll claw her

[00:02:47] Way up from the grave

[00:02:50] Hacking her way back again

[00:02:52] With furious fingernails

[00:02:55] "No " said the jolly captain

[00:02:57] "she'll stay in her place

[00:02:58] "She can scratch she can scrape

[00:03:01] Till she's black in the face

[00:03:03] "No she won't come to haunt

[00:03:05] Me and taunt me I know

[00:03:08] "'Cause I buried her face downward

[00:03:11] She's a long way to go

[00:03:12] "No she won't come to haunt me

[00:03:15] And taunt me I know

[00:03:17] "'Cause I buried her face downward

[00:03:20] She's a long way to go "
