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

[00:00:02] Written by：Jake Thackray

[00:00:13] There once was an old captain who wished nothing more

[00:00:17] Than to live again his voyages and walk by the seashore

[00:00:24] A simple man and a good man but the bane of his life

[00:00:28] Was his ill tempered bad hearted b**ch of a wife

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

[00:00:38] He smoked his long pipe and he smiled upon her tenderly

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

[00:00:48] The whey faced old nag bag had been his pretty darling once

[00:00:59] She fell down her staircase she fractured her neck

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

[00:01:10] Her baleful eyes bulged with unspeakable abuse

[00:01:15] 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 sleep a little peaceably

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

[00:01:35] Violet and peppermint to soothe her heart's bitterness

[00:01:46] From her death bed she said if you marry when I die

[00:01:51] I'll crawl from my coffin to haunt you vexatiously

[00:01:57] With a howl and a scowl with a shudder and a shake

[00:02:02] She spat out her peppermint and went to vex her maker

[00:02:07] Unhappy captain so sad when she died

[00:02:12] He closed her wild eyes and he cried a bit on the Friday

[00:02:16] But he saw no good reason for wasting away

[00:02:21] So he married an apple cheeked girl on the Saturday

[00:02:33] Alas jolly captain you're married too soon

[00:02:38] She'll come to torment you from underneath her tombstone

[00:02:44] She'll scratch and she'll claw her way up from the grave

[00:02:49] Hacking her way back again with furious fingernails

[00:02:54] No said the jolly captain she'll stay in her place

[00:02:58] She can scratch she can scrape till she's black in the face

[00:03:02] No she won't come to haunt me and taunt me I know

[00:03:07] 'Cause I buried her face downward she's a long way to go

[00:03:12] No she won't come to haunt me and taunt me I know

[00:03:17] 'Cause I buried her face downward she's a long way to go
