C F
Hush wee babby, for yer daddy's comin' in

Stumblin' up the stair and missin' every yin
C F
Rotten wi' beer and stinkin' o' gin
G C
He's drunk again as usual
[Chorus]

Oh my God, it's a weary, weary life

Who wid be a drinkin' man's wife

Who wid thole a' this trouble and this strife
G C
Who but a silly woman
[Verse 2]

Hush wee babby, he's comin' in the door
G C
Drunken big feet are skitin' over the floor

He's had a bucket, but he's thirstin' for more
G C
He disnae ken when he's beaten
[Chorus]
C F
Oh my God, it's a weary, weary life

Who wid thole a' this trouble and this strife

Who but a silly woman
[Verse 3]

Hush wee babby, listen tae him sittin' there
G C
Wi his bloodshot eyes and his tangled hair
C F
Mooth fu' o' big talk and eyes fu' o' despair
G C
And blaming me as usual
[Chorus]

Oh my God, it's a weary, weary life

Who wid be a drinkin' man's wife

Who wid thole a' this trouble and this strife

Who but a silly woman

Hush wee babby, yer daddy's gone tae bed
G C
The morn he'll no' remember a' the things he said

But his tongue wis sharp and a' the wounds they bled

But then I'm used tae bleedin'
[Chorus]

Oh my God, it's a weary, weary life

Hush wee babby and close yer weary eyes
G C
Cuddle intae mammy and stop yer tired wee cries
C F
And in the mornin' when ye decide ta arise
G C
Yer mammy will be here waitin'
[Chorus]

Oh my God, it's a weary, weary life

Who wid be a drinkin' man's wife

Who wid thole a' this trouble and this strife
G C
Who but a silly woman
