The Humor is on Me Now

Irish Song Lyrics - The Humor is on Me NowAuthor: words and music by Richard Hayward

Oh, as I went out one mornin' It bein' the month of May
A farmer and his daughter I spied upon me way.
And the girl sat down quite calmly
To the milkin' of her cow,

Sayin' I will and I must get married for the humor is on me now.
Oh, the humor is on me now.
Oh, the humor is on me now.
Sayin' I will and I must get married for the humor is on me now.

So at last the daughter married
She married well to do
And loved her darlin' husband
For a month, a year or two.
But Sean was all a tyrant,
And she quickly rued her vow,

Sayin' I'm sorry I ever got married for the humor is off me now.
Oh, the humor is off me now.
Oh, the humor is off me now.
Sayin' I'm sorry I ever got married for the humor is off me now.
