Bella Lyrics by Oscar Brand

Bawdy Songs and Backroom Ballads, Vol. 3

0

[Verse 1]
Now, Bella was young, and Bella was fair
With bright blue eyes and golden hair
Oh, unhappy Bella
Her step was light, and her heart was gay
But she had no sense and one fine day
She got herself put in a family way
By a mean and wicked heartless cruel deceiver
[Verse 2]
She went to his house but the dirty skunk
Had packed his bags and had done a bunk
Oh, unhappy Bella
Her landlady said "Get out, you whore
Don't cross my threshold or darken my door"
Poor Bella was put to affliction sore
By a mean and wicked heartless cruel deceiver
[Verse 3]
All night she tramped the icy snows
What she suffered nobody knows
Oh, unhappy Bella
And when the morning dawned so red
Alas, alas, poor Bella was dead
Sent in her youth to a lonely bed
By a mean and wicked heartless cruel deceiver
[Verse 4]
So thus, you see, do what we will
The fruits of sin are suffering still
Oh, unhappy Bella
As into the grave they laid her low
The men said "Alas, but life it is so"
But the women were chanting sweet and low
"It's all the men, they've done it again, the bastards"
The mean and wicked heartless cruel deceivers
