A WOMAN She's an ang,e1 in truth, a demon in fiction A woman's the greatest of all con- tradiction; She's afraid of a cockroaeh, she'll jump at a mouse, But she'll tackle a husband as big as a house. She'll take him for better, She'll take him for worse, She'll split his head open, and then be his nurse; And when he's well and can get out out of bed, She'll pick up a tea pot. and throw at his head. She's faithful, deceitful, keen-sighted and blind, She's crafty, she's simple, she's cruel, she's kind; She'll lift a man up; she'll throw a man down; She'll make him her hero, her ruler, her clown. You fancy she's this, but you'll find she's that, For she'll play like a kitten and fight like a cat, In the morning she will, in the even- ing she won't; And you're always expecting she will when she won't.
