O I won’t lead a homely life lyrics
 by Thomas Hardy
		
		
“O I won’t lead a homely life
As father’s Jack and mother’s Jill,
But I will be a fiddler’s wife,
           With music mine at will!
                      Just a little tune,
                      Another one soon,
           As I merrily fling my fill!”
And she became a fiddler’s Dear,
And merry all day she strove to be;
And he played and played afar and near,
           But never at home played he
                      Any little tune
                      Or late or soon;
           And sunk and sad was she!
