OPHELIA

Ophelia my dear what have you done?
The fire is burning low and there is no one to stoke it now
I know what you must have been thinking I can make a guess
She meant nothing to me oh if only you could have seen
We both could have simply stayed in bed you know
Think how much better our day would have been
But I love you and that’s what counts in this world
Get ready to leave Ophelia
So that we might hide from the world

Ophelia so silly-a
By the light of the kitchen fire
More deadly-a in the dawny-a
Oh my dear what have you just done?
Not the poker, not the poker…

Ophelia you are quite ill what can I say?
But even so the sun has come out on us today
Why don’t you put it down dear and you and I shall go away
If we are quick before anyone comes you shall not have to pay
Dawn is fast turning to day so we must not make delay
People may be coming to call on our poor kitchen maid
The butcher usually comes around now the baker’s boy too
If we do not go soon dear I fear I will not know what to do
