lyrics

Seven months she’s been married and all to her grief
Seven months she’s been married but found no relief 

Seven months she’s been married but still she’s a maid
Oh she’s ruined, she’s ruined, she’s ruined

Oh he comes to her bed almost every night,
He calls her his treacle, and holds her too tight.

The love that hangs on him like leaves on a tree,

Oh she’s ruined, she’s ruined, she’s ruined

Oh he brings her fine shoes with straps made of gold,

And we all told her twice that he is too old.

If she could do it again, she wouldn’t do it again,
Oh she’s ruined, she’s ruined she’s ruined.



Her father he gave her five acres of land,

Her mother she gave her eight hundred pounds.

But she will never more for the sake of a man,

Oh she’s ruined, she’s ruined she’s ruined.
