[Verse 1]
Do you love an apple?
Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie
With curly brown hair?

[Chorus]
Ah, but still I love him, and I'll not deny him
And I'll go with him wherever he goes

[Verse 2]
He stands at the corner
Fag in his mouth
Two hands in his pockets
He whistles me out

[Chorus]
Ah, but still I love him, and I'll not deny him
And I'll go with him wherever he goes

[Verse 3]
He works in a factory
For nine bob a week
Come Saturday night
He comes rolling home drunk

[Chorus]
Ah, but still I love him, and I'll not deny him
And I'll go with him wherever he goes
Wherever he goes, wherever he goes

[Verse 4]
Before I got married
I wore a grey shawl
But now that I'm married
I've nothing at all

[Chorus]
Ah, but still I love him, and I'll not deny him
And I'll go with him wherever he goes

[Verse 5]
Now before I got married
I sported and played
Now the damn cradle
It gets in me way

[Chorus]
Yeah, but still I love him, and I'll not deny him
And I'll go with him wherever he goes
Watch him go, I watch him go

[Verse 1]
Now do you love an apple?
Do you love a pear?
Do you love a laddie
With curly brown hair?

[Chorus]
Ah, but still I love him, and I'll not deny him
And I'll go with him wherever he goes
Wherever he goes, wherever he goes
