Oh, Edward you look so happy now

You dress so neat and clean

I never see you drunk about

Pray tell me where you've been.

Your wife and family air they well

You once did use them strange

You have kinder to them grown
How come this happy change

 You have kinder to them grown

 How come this happy change     (Thede)
