Gangs of New York movie - Unconstant Lover lyrics

rate me

Song by Maura O'Connell<br /><br>

Oh it's meetings a pleasure and it's parting a grieve<br>

And an unconstant lover is worse not a thief<br>

For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have<br>

But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave<br>

For the thief he will rob you and just steal what you have<br>

But an unconstant lover will follow you to your grave<br>

<br>

Oh they'll buy you fine trinkets, fine garments and flowers<br>

And they'll call in at tea-time to pay their devours<br>

They'll swear that they love you by the light of the moon<br>

And propose marriage? No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon.<br>

<br>

Ah but when you are married look out for your hub<br>

'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club<br>

At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend<br>

And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend<br>

At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend<br>

And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend<br>

<br>

But fortunes are false and a fickle young day<br>

And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid<br>

And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life<br>

Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife<br>

And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life<br>

Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife<br>

<br>
