[Verse 1]
My husband is dead
God rest the poor man
And I in his stead
Do all that I can
Keeping body and soul
And the house from the dole

[Chorus]
Sing treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle
The wheel it goes round
Sing treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle
The wheel it goes round
Aah

[Verse 2]
I wash and I cook
I sweep and I clean
I once dreamt a duke
Had made me his queen
But oh weary me
Such things cannot be
[Chorus]
Sing treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle
The wheel it goes round
Sing treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle
The wheel it goes round
Treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle
The wheel it goes round
Sing treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle, trid-treadle
The wheel it goes round
