[Verse 1]
D G
A husband came home drunk each night,
A D
And he thrashed her black and he thrashed her white,
G
He thrashed her to within an inch of her life,
A D
Then he slept like a log, did her husband.
[Verse 2]
D G
As he lay and snored in bed,
A D
A strange idea came into her head,
G
She went for the needle and she went for the thread,
A D
And straight to her sleeping husband.

[Verse 3]
D G
She started to stitch with a girlish thrill,
A D
With a woman's art and a seamstress' skill,
G
She pinned and tucked with an iron will,
A D
All around her sleeping husband.
[Verse 4]
D G
Husband awoke with a pain in his head,
A D
He found he could not move in bed,
G
"Sweet Christ I've lost the use of me legs!",
A D
Wife just smiled at her husband.

[Verse 5]
D G
She thrashed him black, she thrashed him blue,
A D
With a frying pan and a colander, too,
G
With a rolling pin just a stroke or two,
A D
A battered and bleeding husband.
[Verse 6]
D G
Isn't it true what small can do,
A D
With a thread and a stitch and a thought or two,
G
He's wiped his slate, his boozing's through,
A D
Goodbye to a drunken husband.
