    1st and 2nd part jig
    What would you do if your kettle boiled over?
    What would I do? Well I'd fill it again
    What would you do if the cow ate the clover?
    What would I do? Well I'd set it again

    ( Chorus
    The praties are dug and the frost is all over (herrings are roasted)
    Kitty lie over close to the wall
    You to be drunk and me to be sober (married to a soldier)
    Kitty lie over close to the wall )

    2nd part jig
    What would you do if you married a soldier?
    What would I do? Well I'd follow his gun!
    What would you do if he died on the ocean?
    What would I do? Well I'd marry again

    Chorus *2nd part jig

    ( Bridge x2
    The praties are dug and the herrings are roasted
    Kitty lie over close to the wall
    How would you like to be married to a soldier?
    Kitty lie over close to the wall )

    1st and 2nd part jig
    What would you do if you married a landlord?

    What would you do if he tried an eviction?
    What would I do? Well I'd give em the gun!

    Chorus *Banish Misfortune full
