The Hair Of The Widow Of Bridlington - Jake Thackray
She was a widow in Bridlington she was Was the widow of Brid Small and bonny at fortytwoWith eyes of very unsettling blue And what she thought she ought to do She did she did she did Whatever she thought she ought to do She did did the widow of Brid My only darling'sdead he is and All my children grown The house has emptied all the lovebirdsflown In place of widow'sweeds I'lllet My coal black hair grow long As glossy as a blackbird'swing As cocky as his song She found that she could please herself She could could the widow of Brid Swim in the sea when she felt hot Stay in bed when she did not And she began to laugh a lot She did she did she did To sing and dance and laugh a lot She did did the widow of Brid And sometimes she would drop the shopping leave the bed unmade And sit till evening on the esplanade She'dsometimes go to church And call on Jesus by his name She fed as any blackbird would Whenever hunger came She learned to play the violin She did did the widow of Brid And Saturday night in a drinking shop She jumped upon the counter top And fiddled till the dancers dropped She did she did she did Stomping upon the copper top She did did the widow of Brid And she was fond of fishing boats And all their beardy crew And partial to a salty kiss or two And some of them would gruffly whisper Marry me and stay But blackbirds do their singing from A different bush each day She had a massive motorbike she had Had the widow of Brid And so she could when so she wished Ride back home earlymorningishWith her hair in the air and smelling of fish She did she did she did And every time of a different fish She did did the widow of Brid And though she did no harm the neighbours Sniffed as neighbours do And day by day a cankerous rancour grew And many a pair of frontroomcurtains Twitched and shook with rage She was wild as blackbirds are And they were in a cage They came and broke her window panes They did of the widow of Brid Spat upon her cycle shed Dragged her out of her Sunday bed And cropped her hair and shaved her head They did they did they did They chopped the hair and shaved the head They did of the widow of Brid And when her sobs and hiccups Stopped she tidied everywhere She cleaned the shed she swept up all the hair Some few of them came back in Shame to ask her would she stay But if you ever startle blackbirds Blackbirds go away She sold up house and bought a wig A wig did the widow of Brid And unrepenting undeterred She thundered off to cause a stir In poor old bloody Scarborough She did she did she did Forget the spit and the window pane Bugger Brid I'mstill the same My hair will always grow again It did it did it did My hair will always grow again It did it did did did on the widow of Brid Guitar score
