I Had a Wife 
I Had a Wife 
I had a wife and got no good of her Tell you how I easy got rid of her Took an axe and chopped the head of her Early in the morning. 
Seeing how there was no evidence For the sheriff or his reverence They called it an act of providence Early in the morning. 
So if you've a wife and get no good of her Here is how to easy get rid of her Take her out and chop the head of her Early in the morning.
