Jinny Wren Bride
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Verse 1]
I've just come away from the wedding
And, Lord, I could laugh till I died
I'll never forget the relations I met
When I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Verse 2]
Her brother he works in the dockyard
Her pa owns a Marine Store
And as for their habits, they breed just like rabbits
They own half the cradles on shore
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wrеn bride
[Verse 3]
I asked her old man for a dowry
Hе give me a can of soft soap
A bundle of waste and some polishing paste
And fifty-four fathoms of rope
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Verse 4]
Now, the present I got from her sister
Was some postal cards labelled "obscene"
Her brother, the raper, he give us some paper
Six packets of Service Latrine
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Verse 5]
Her panties were made of pink coral
Her bra was two clams held with clips
While for her suspenders, a motorboat's fenders
Hung from her navel in strips
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Verse 6]
Now, the most of this strange congregation
Was made up of Wrens lined in fours
While in the back pew was a generous crew
Of New Castle's favorite whores
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
[Verse 7]
So now I'm just off on the honeymoon
I don't know what happens tonight
But I've talked to a few who declare that they do
And they swear she's a bit of alright
[Chorus]
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
Married, married
I married my Jinny Wren bride
