Nine Times A Night Lyrics - Singles - Lloyd

NINE TIMES A NIGHT 

A handsome young sailor to London came down 

He'd been paid off his ship in old Liverpool town 

They asked him his name and he answered them, "Quite 

I belong to a family called nine times a night" 

Well a handsome young widow who still wore her weeds 

Her husband had left her his money and deeds 

Resolved she was on her conjugal rights 

And to soften her sorrows with nine times a night 

So she's called to her serving maids Ann and Amelia 

To keep a watch out for this wonderful sailor 

And if ever he happened to chance in their sight 

To bring her fond tidings of nine times a night 

She was favored by fortune the very next day 

These two giggling saw him coming their way 

They've rushed up the stairs full of amorous delight 

Crying, "There comes that sailor with his nine times a night" 

She's jumped out of bed and she's pulled on her clothes 

And straight to the hall door like lightening she goes 

She's looked him once over and gave him a smack 

And the bargain was struck: no more sailing for Jack 

The wedding was over, the bride tolled the bell 

Jack trimmed her sails five times and that pleased her well 

She vowed to herself she was satisfied quite 

But she still gives sly hints about nine times a night 

Says Jack, "My dear bride, you mistook me quite wrong 

I said to that family I did belong 

Nine times a night's a bit hard for a man 

I couldn't do it myself, but me sister she can"
