Broadside ballad entitled 'Clean Hearthstane'

Transcription

CLEAN
HEARTHSTANE.

PRICE ONE PENNY.

Copies of this Popular song, can always be had at the Poet's Box,
OVEGATE, .DUNDEE.

Some people say its jolly a single life to lead,
They only talk for talking's sake and so I never heed;
A single life is very well, it may be gay and free,
But the comforts of a married life are suited best for

me.

Chorus

A good roaring fire, and the kettle on the boil,
It makes a chappie happy when he's done his daily

toil;
A tidy smilliug wife, and a clean hearthstane.

Its very, very cosey when a chap comes hame.

What can be more pleasant when a hard day's work

is done,
Than meet your wife with kindly smile, and see

the children run;
The air seems filled with music when you heer

their voices ring,
The very kettle on the hob with gladness seems to

sing.

Of all the blessings in this world, the greatest one

in life,

Is when a chappie knows he has a clean and tidy wife;
His house is like a palace, he never wants to roam,
For a clean and tidy wife can make a truely happy home.
