“PAYING HIM BACK”
That is right, Emma, go and tell
Of Dervan's carryings-on,
For thou hast borne them very well;
Yea, thou hast borne them long.
Of Dervan's carryings-on,
For thou hast borne them very well;
Yea, thou hast borne them long.
6
No matter if he's very mad,
No matter if he'll scold;
You know that he was very bad,
As I have oft been told.
No matter if he'll scold;
You know that he was very bad,
As I have oft been told.
So now make haste and speed thy flight,
And tell mamma the news;
Don't be afraid, for thou art right;
I'll bear all the abuse.
And tell mamma the news;
Don't be afraid, for thou art right;
I'll bear all the abuse.
I know full many a saucy word
That he hath said to thee,
And many a saucy word I've heard
That he has said to me!
That he hath said to thee,
And many a saucy word I've heard
That he has said to me!
