Shame And Scandal
It's funny that they won't ever meet me With much confusion as you will see
There was a mama and a papa And a boy who was grown
Who wanted to marry a happy wife of his own He met a young girl
Who suited him nice He went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa he said, I have to say no The girl is your sister but your mama don't know
Hey woe is me Shame and scandal in the family
A week went by and this summer came round And soon another girl on the island deboned
He went to his papa to name the day His papa shook his head and this time he did say
So sorry boy but I have to say no The girl is your auntie but your granny don't know
Hey woe is me Shame and scandal in the family
He went to his mama, he hung his head He telling his mama what his daddy had said
She listened a moment, uncertainly And all the time he weighed impatiently
Tell his mama she laughed, she said, go man go Your daddy ain't your daddy but your daddy don't know
Hey woe is me Shame and scandal in the family
Hey woe is me Shame and scandal in the family
Thanks for watching
