A Citizen's 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 where 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 admiring Slave, He is brought to my how; If I'll have rich Jewels, If I'll have rich Jewels, He dare not say no.
My doting old Man, Is 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 Taylor's 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.
Whenever I dine, Rich Tent with Canary, Nay Rhenish 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 happen to meet me, And proffer to treat me, Should I be afraid to venture with him? By my truth, 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 Quaker's Arms Be frozen? faith no; I will have my Humours, I will have my Humours, abroad I will go.
