- (continued from previous page)sorrow comes he'll share it
So we're going to be married in the mornin.
III
Now of lads there's half a dozen, monied Yanks and my third cousin
To break whose hearts to me indeed is scaldin,
But I can't take all together; so in my new hat and feather
To my own Jack, I'll be married in the mornin
IV
There are still, if you but mark it, plenty colleens in Newmarket,
Who all would wish to give us a house-warnin,
So lads! here's my suggestion - you just go and pop the question
There'll be plenty to be married in the mornin
V
And to catch those bouchals - girls! don't depend too much on curls,
Or motor coats your figures fair adornin,
Put your eye on some nice fellow, and don't leave him till he'll tell you
That he's willin to be married some fine mornin
Chorus
