Here I sit, with a babe in arms
And another one here within
And where's my man?
Ah, don't you know
He's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life of sin?

Once he courted me so fine
Oh why did I give in?
And where's he now?
Ah, don't you know 
He's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life of sin?

And were it not for my own breast
My baby'd die for sure
And where's my man?
Ah, don't you know
He's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life so poor?

And were it not for this wee baby
Well, you know what I'd do
Ooh, to my fine man
Ah, don't you know 
I'd shoot him and put an end to his life of sin?

And here I sit, with a babe in arms
And another one here within
And where's my man?
Ah, don't you know 
He's drinkin', carousin', and livin' a life of sin?
