[00:00:01] The Hair Of The Widow Of Bridlington - Jake Thackray

[00:00:09] She was a widow in Bridlington she was

[00:00:11] Was the widow of Brid

[00:00:12] Small and bonny at forty-two

[00:00:14] With eyes of very unsettling blue

[00:00:16] And what she thought she ought to do

[00:00:18] She did she did she did;

[00:00:20] Whatever she thought she ought to do

[00:00:22] She did did the widow of Brid

[00:00:26] "My only darling's dead he is and

[00:00:28] All my children grown;

[00:00:30] "The house has emptied all the love-birds flown

[00:00:35] "In place of widow's weeds I'll let

[00:00:37] My coal black hair grow long:

[00:00:40] "As glossy as a blackbird's wing

[00:00:44] As cocky as his song "

[00:00:47] She found that she could please herself

[00:00:49] She could could the widow of Brid:

[00:00:51] Swim in the sea when she felt hot

[00:00:53] Stay in bed when she did not

[00:00:54] And she began to laugh a lot

[00:00:56] She did she did she did

[00:00:58] To sing and dance and laugh a lot

[00:01:00] She did did the widow of Brid

[00:01:04] And sometimes she would drop the

[00:01:06] Shopping leave the bed unmade

[00:01:08] And sit till evening on the esplanade

[00:01:13] She'd sometimes go to church

[00:01:15] And call on Jesus by his name

[00:01:18] She fed as any blackbird would

[00:01:22] Whenever hunger came

[00:01:24] She learned to play the violin

[00:01:26] She did did the widow of Brid

[00:01:28] And Saturday night in a drinking shop

[00:01:31] She jumped upon the counter top

[00:01:32] And fiddled till the dancers dropped

[00:01:34] She did she did she did

[00:01:36] Stomping upon the copper top

[00:01:37] She did did the widow of Brid

[00:01:42] And she was fond of fishing boats

[00:01:43] And all their beardy crew

[00:01:46] And partial to a salty kiss or two

[00:01:51] And some of them would gruffly whisper

[00:01:53] "Marry me and stay"

[00:01:56] But blackbirds do their singing from

[00:02:01] A different bush each day

[00:02:03] She had a massive motorbike she had

[00:02:05] Had the widow of Brid

[00:02:07] And so she could when so she wished

[00:02:09] Ride back home early-morningish

[00:02:11] With her hair in the air and smelling of fish

[00:02:12] She did she did she did

[00:02:14] And every time of a different fish

[00:02:16] She did did the widow of Brid

[00:02:20] And though she did no harm the neighbours

[00:02:22] Sniffed as neighbours do

[00:02:24] And day by day a cankerous rancour grew

[00:02:29] And many a pair of front-room curtains

[00:02:31] Twitched and shook with rage

[00:02:34] For she was wild as blackbirds are

[00:02:39] And they were in a cage

[00:02:41] They came and broke her window panes

[00:02:43] They did of the widow of Brid

[00:02:45] Spat upon her cycle shed

[00:02:47] Dragged her out of her Sunday bed

[00:02:49] And cropped her hair and shaved her head

[00:02:51] They did they did they did;

[00:02:52] They chopped the hair and shaved the head

[00:02:54] They did of the widow of Brid

[00:02:59] And when her sobs and hiccups

[00:03:00] Stopped she tidied everywhere

[00:03:03] She cleaned the shed she swept up all the hair

[00:03:08] Some few of them came back in

[00:03:10] Shame to ask her would she stay

[00:03:13] But if you ever startle blackbirds

[00:03:17] Blackbirds go away

[00:03:19] She sold up house and bought a wig

[00:03:21] A wig did the widow of Brid

[00:03:23] And unrepenting undeterred

[00:03:25] She thundered off to cause a stir

[00:03:27] In poor old bloody Scarborough

[00:03:29] She did she did she did

[00:03:30] "Forget the spit and the window pane

[00:03:33] "Bugger Brid I'm still the same

[00:03:34] "My hair will always grow again "

[00:03:36] It did it did it did

[00:03:38] "My hair will always grow again "

[00:03:39] It did it did did did on the widow of Brid
