The Close Shave
Bob Bickerton / Trad., arr.: Andy Irvine
Come gather round you diggers all who work the goldfields rare
It's of a trick was played on me and it's caused me to despair
I came to town the other day me precious gold to trade
And there I met a pretty maid who did me heart betray
And her lips were red as roses and her eyes a deep sky blue
Her hair was yellow as the gold she stole from me and you
We went into a Public House and there we did imbibe
Whiskey and strong porter and dreadful stuff beside
'T was then she asked me up to bed to which I did agree
But truth to tell I fell asleep before she'd earned her fee
When I awoke next morning no trousers could I find
But scattered all around the room were women's clothes so fine
Me jacket, shoes and gold was gone and all that's left behind
Was a woman's dress, a yellow wig and a shaving kit, not mine
Why did she need a wig, why did she need to shave?
'T was then the truth it struck me in a fit of blinding rage
"Me pretty maid's a man!", I cried, and thanks be I fell asleep
For I'd rather lose a bag of gold than wake up with that creep
To venture in the street again I cautiously inclined
I had a shave, put on the wig and wore the dress so fine
And as I walked along the street a digger gave a wink
And I thought of all the gold he had and I offered him a drink
Now you may think it sinful, you may think it bold
To take advantage of the lads who struggle for the gold
It's easy putting on a dress and drinking whiskey neat
But leave your shaving kit behind when they are fast asleep
