No, sherry cobblers at Taylor's Saloon D G Ah, but when you are married, look out for your hub D 'Cause evenings you spend at the old fellows' club Em C At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend G D G And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend Em C At the officer's store he was kept, he'll pretend G D G And so he was too, drinking rum with a friend G D G But fortunes are false and a fickle young day D And it's worse than bad luck for to die an old maid Em C And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life G D G Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife Em C And the best of all blessings we can meet in this life G D G Is a kind, loving husband and a good-tempered wife G D G D G
