I wrung my hands till they developed pleats

I had  Jewish boyfriend who was sweet
Intelligent and charming to behold
He bought me a new watch  but did not speak

We saw  Port Meadow frozen, it looked neat
Yet I suffered greatly from the cold
With my  Jewish boyfriend’s lack of bleats

When he went away, a tear did leak
As if his love was garnished with much gold
He bought me a new watch  but did not speak

I wrung my hands till they developed pleats
I left my food uneaten, it grew mould
Oh cruel  Jewish boyfriend , I felt weak

Mentally deranged I  was dead beat
I am warm and like a man to hold
He left me  that gold watch  but did not speak

Into my wool blanket I then rolled
A sheep  alone without a home or fold
I had that  Jewish boyfriend who was sweet
He left me the gold watch  but did not weep
