    “Monday night I lost my wife...”

    Share Share Post
    Monday night I lost my wife.
    Tuesday morning I found her,
    Behind the door sweeping the floor,
    I up with the brush and downed her.
    II;
    She jumped over a gooseberry bush
    I jumped over some timber,
    She cried out my back is broke,
    And I cried out my finger.
