Nine Times a Night

Oh a rambling young sailor just newly come down

His ship was paid off in old Liverpool town

As soon as he landed he said downright

I come from the family called nine times a night

Now the town it soon rang with lound words of his fame

When they heard of this man with such a wonderful name

And the ladies when they are in bed at night

They long for the man they call nine times a night

Now a lady soon got him and she married him with speed

And she took him to bed for this wonderful deed

Well he loved her six times and she thought it quite right

But she still gave him hints of his nine times a night

Oh lady, oh lady you took me quite wrong

I said to that family that I did belong

Well nine times a night is too much for one man

I can't do it meself, but my sister she can
