  1. 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.

  2. 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 got
    Saint 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.
