And I'm not myself at all! Th' other day I went confessin', and I asked the father's blessin', " But," says I, " don't give me one entirely, For I fretted so last year but the half of me is here, So give the other half to Molly Brierley." O I'm not myself at all I
0 I'm not myself at all, Molly dear, Molly dear,
My appetite's so small.
1 once could pick a goose, but ray buttons is no use, Faith my tightest coat is loose, Molly dear,
And I'm not myself at all! If thus it is I waste, you'd better, dear, make haste,
Before your lover's gone away entirely; If you don't soon change your mind, not a bit of me you'll find — And what 'ud you think o' that, Molly Brierley? O I'm not myself at all!
O my shadow on the wall, Molly dear, Molly dear,
Isn't like myself at all. ,
For I've got so very thin, myself says 'tisn't him, But that purty girl so slim, Molly dear, And I'm not myself at all 1 If thus I smaller grow, all fretting, dear, for you,
'Tis you should make me up the deficiency; So just let Father Taaffe make you my better-half, And you will not the worse of the addition be — O I'm not myself at all!
I'll be not myself at all, Molly dear, Molly dear, Till you my own I call ! |
