The Blasting Company
When Me and My Brother Had a Row
[Intro]
When me and my brother had a row
*Whistling*
[Verse 1]
When I was a boy, we hadn't need for much
We always had provisions, clothes, and food and such
I had one only brother, had him all my life
We never took to trouble or to strife
One evening at the table, while food was being spread
My brother sitting next to me and father at the head
Mother served us sweet milk and poured it in our mugs
Brother swallowed his, and then he drank mine in a chug
He looked at me contentеd, and then he took a bow
Then mе and my brother had a row
*Whistling*
[Verse 2]
I told him he was in the wrong, he said I was mislead
He added I was insolent and had a misshaped head
I said he was unpleasant; he said I was a louse
And then we took to quar'ling 'round the house
We quarreled in the celler, and we quarreled in the attic
We quarreled in the kitchen, and we quarreled with a hattock
I hit him in the backyard; I hit him in the front
I hit him with an object, and the object, it was blunt
We didn't stop to eat or drink, or even wipe a brow
When me and my brother had a row
*Whistling*
