- Saturday night my wife she died
Sunday she was buried
Monday was my sporting day
And Tuesday I got married
Wednesday I stole a cow
Thursday I was taken
Friday I was condemed to die
Saturday I was hung like bacon.

- Marry is it a cold you got?
Take a little drop take it hot.
Go into bed and cover your head.
And do not let it's a cold you gotSaint Peter's church was built upon a rock
It had a strong foundation
The Presbyterian church was built upon th sand.
It sunk unto damnation.
