A Citizens wife I am, I declare it, I solemnly swear it; I lead a sweet life In Pleasure each day; For I live at my ease, And can walk were I please, To Play-house I go; And as for my Husband, And as for my Husband, He dare not say no. Five Hundred Pounds, A Portion I brought him, And faith I have taught him His duty, and found Him willing to please, Like a Servant I have, My Admirine Slave, He is brought to my bow, If I'll have Rich Jewels, If I'll have Rich jewels, He dare not say no. My doting Old Man I s lately turn'd Quaker, And I Cuckold maker, May he do what he can, My Frolicks I'll have, Rich Topins I'll wear, And Powdered hair, Like a Lady I'll go, My Husband the Quaker, My Husband the Quaker, He dare not say no. In London I dwell, Where I at my pleasure, Do Revel in Treasure, I know very well What pleases me best, If I want a Rich Gown, Nay the best in the Town, To the Taylors I go, My Husband the Quaker, My Husband the Quaker, He dare not say no.
I have been well bred, And therefore dear Neighbour, With no kind of labour I trouble my head, But take my delight; I will still have the Reins, Let my husband take pains, While in pleasures I flow, It is but His duty, It is but His Duty, He dare not say no. When ever I dine, Rich Tent with Canary, Nay Rennish and Sherry, And all sorts of Wine I have at the Board, As I am a true wife, O the Liquor of life I love to see flow, The Quaker my Husband, The Quaker my Husband, He dare not say no. What if a brisk Blade Should hapen to meet me, And profer to treat me, Should I be afraid To venture with him, By my troth no not I, But will freely comply, To the Tavern I go, The Quaker my Husband, The Quaker my Husband, He dare not say no. It is not Yea and Nay, shall e'er over rule me, Or any ways fool me, I will have my way, As sure as a Club, Shall my Beautiful Charms, In an Old Quakers Arms Be frozen, faith no, I will have my humours, I will have my humours, Abrode I will go.
