Till a man with a face like a ship in distress

Came and stole my poor Phyllis from me.

He took her for walks round the gas-works

And stood her to bad ginger-beer

Then one night when I was in prison

He whispered his tale in her ear

Then she packed the home in a hat bod

And left me a letter which read:

"I have gone with man who detests me

If you follow I'll have you instead."

In my rage I knelt on the ceiling

And swore as I only could swear
