[00:00:00] The Ruined Maid - Elsa Lanchester (The Bride Of Frankenstein)

[00:00:26] "O 'Melia my dear this does everything crown

[00:00:29] How could I supposed I should meet you in Town

[00:00:33] And whence such fair garments such prosperi-ty "

[00:00:38] "O didn't you know I'd been ruined " said she

[00:00:47] "You left us in tatters without shoes or socks

[00:00:50] Tired of digging potatoes and spudding up docks

[00:00:55] But now you've gay bracelets and find feathers three "

[00:00:59] "Yes: that's how we dress when we're ruined " said she

[00:01:09] Your hands were like paws then your face blue and bleak

[00:01:14] But now I'm bewitched by your delicate cheek

[00:01:18] And your little gloves fit as on any lady

[00:01:24] We never do work when were ruined said she

[00:01:29] You used to call home-life a hag-ridden dream

[00:01:38] And you'd sigh and you'd sock but at present you seem

[00:01:42] To know not of megrims or melancholy

[00:01:46] True ones pretty lively when ruined said she

[00:01:53] I wish I had fine feathers a fine sweeping gown

[00:01:59] And a delicate face and could strut about town

[00:02:05] My dear a raw country girl such as you be

[00:02:10] Cannot quite expect that you ain't ruined you see
