richard thompson - waiting at the church lyrics
i’m in a nice bit of trouble, i confess;
somebody with me has had a game.
i should by now be a proud and happy bride,
but i’ve still got to keep my single name.
i was proposed to by obadiah binks
in a very gentlemanly way;
lent him all my money
so that he could buy a home,
and punctually at twelve o’clock to-day-
chorus:
there was i, waiting at the church,
waiting at the church, waiting at the church;
when i found he’d left me in the lurch.
lor, how it did upset me!
all at once, he sent me round a note
here’s the very note, this is what he wrote:
“can’t get away to marry you today,
my wife, won’t let me!”
lor, what a fuss obadiah made of me
when he used to take me in the park!
he used to squeeze me till i was black and blue,
when he kissed me he used to leave a mark.
each time he met me he treated me to port,
took me now and then to see the play;
understand me rightly,
when i say he treated me,
it wasn’t him but me that used to pay.
just think how disappointed i must feel,
i’ll be off me crumpet very soon.
i’ve lost my husband – the one i never had!
and i dreamed so about the honeymoon.
i’m looking out for another obadiah,
i’ve already bought the wedding ring,
there’s all my little fal-the-riddles
packed up in my box
yes, absolutely two of ev’rything
