SHOEMAKER [2], THE. English, Air (2/4 time). England, Northumberland. F Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The song relates a wife's lament at the choice of a husband:
My mother sent me to the school,
To learn to be a stocking knitter,
But I went wrang and play'd the fule,
And married with a shoemaker.
Shoemaker, leather cracker,[1]
With all his stinking, dirty water,
I wish a thousand deaths I'd died
Ere I had wed a shoemaker. ..... [Bruce & Stokoe]
The song was also printed in William Gillies Whittaker's North Countrie Songs (1921).
- ↑ Fr. John Quinn points out the rhyming spelling of this line, "Shoemakker", to rhyme with "leather cracker."
