[Verse 1]
As I walked out one summer's day
To view the fields and the leaves a-springing
I saw two maidens standing by
And one of them, her hands was wringing

[Refrain]
And all of her conversation was
My husband's got no courage in him

[Chorus]
O dear o, o dear o
My husband's got no courage in him
O dear, no

[Verse 2]
In seven long years I've made his bed
In seven years I've laid agin him
And this morning I rose with my maidenhead
Now that shows he's got no courage in him

[Refrain]
And all of her conversation was
My husband's got no courage in him

[Chorus]
O dear o, o dear o
My husband's got no courage in him
O dear, no
[Verse 3]
Comе pretty maids where'еr you be
Don't wed the man before you try him
Lest you should sing a song like me
My husband's got no courage in him

[Refrain]
And all of her conversation was
My husband's got no courage in him

[Chorus]
O dear o, o dear o
My husband's got no courage in him
O dear, no
