O I Won'T Lead A Homely Life

    By Thomas Hardy



To an old air


    "O I won't lead a homely life
    As father's Jack and mother's Jill,
    But I will be a fiddler's wife,
    With music mine at will!
    Just a little tune,
    Another one soon,
    As I merrily fling my fill!"

    And she became a fiddler's Dear,
    And merry all day she strove to be;
    And he played and played afar and near,
    But never at home played he
    Any little tune
    Or late or soon;
    And sunk and sad was she!
