Jewels

Come my fine gentles and listen to me
I'll sing you a song that will fill you with glee
About a young maiden who wed in the fall
She married a man who had no jewels at all

No jewels at all, no jewels at all
She married a man who had no jewels at all

The night of the wedding she leapt into bed
Aware of the venture that may lay ahead
She reached for her husband, he was so small
She reached for his jewels, he had no jewels at all

No jewels at all, no jewels at all
She married a man who had no jewels at all

"Oh, mother, oh, mother, oh, what shall I do?
I've married a man who is unable to woo.
For many long years I avoided the call
Now I've married a man who has no jewels at all."

No jewels at all, no jewels at all
She married a man who had no jewels at all

"Oh, daughter, oh, daughter, now don't feel so sad.
I had the same trouble with your dear old dad.
There's a fine young jeweler who will answer the call
Of the wife of a man who has no jewels at all."

No jewels at all, no jewels at all
She married a man who had no jewels at all

Now the daughter she followed her mother's advice
And found the proceedings exceedingly nice
And a bouncing young baby was born in the fall
To the wife of a man with no jewels at all

No jewels at all, no jewels at all
She married a man who had no jewels at all

No jewels at all, no jewels at all
She married a man who had no jewels at all
