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