A mother was washing her baby one night The youngest of ten and a delicate mite The mother was poor and the baby was thin 'Twas naught but an skeleton covered with skin The mother turned 'round for the soap off the rack She was only a moment but when she turned back Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried “Oh, where has my baby gone?”, the angels replied: Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole Oh, your baby has gone down the plug The poor little thing was so skinny and thin He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug Your baby is perfectly happy He won’t need a bath anymore He’s a-muckin’ about with the angels above Not lost but gone before _The Mother’s Lament: Traditional British Music Hall Song_ ---

(and he wasn’t joking!!!) And i said, “no, no, no, no, i don’t drink it no more, I’m tired of waking up on the floor.
