1
Nine times A night
2
A handsome young sailor to London came down
3
He'd been paid off his ship in old Liverpool town
4
They asked him his name and he answered them, "Quite
5
I belong to a family called nine times a night"
6
Well a handsome young widow who still wore her weeds
7
Her husband had left her his money and deeds
8
Resolved she was on her conjugal rights
9
And to soften her sorrows with nine times a night
10
So she's called to her serving maids Ann and Amelia
11
To keep a watch out for this wonderful sailor
12
And if ever he happened to chance in their sight
13
To bring her fond tidings of nine times a night
14
She was favored by fortune the very next day
15
These two giggling saw him coming their way
16
They've rushed up the stairs full of amorous delight
17
Crying, "There comes that sailor with his nine times a night"
18
She's jumped out of bed and she's pulled on her clothes
19
And straight to the hall door like lightening she goes
20
She's looked him once over and gave him a smack
21
And the bargain was struck: no more sailing for Jack
22
The wedding was over, the bride tolled the bell
23
Jack trimmed her sails five times and that pleased her well
24
She vowed to herself she was satisfied quite
25
But she still gives sly hints about nine times a night
26
Says Jack, "My dear bride, you mistook me quite wrong
27
I said to that family I did belong
28
Nine times a night's a bit hard for a man
29
I couldn't do it myself, but me sister she can"
