    She Was Poor, But She Was Honest (aka It's The Same The Whole World Over)
    (Traditional)
    Performer(s): Billy Bennett



    She was poor, but she was honest
    Though she came from 'umble stock
    And an honest heart was beating
    Underneath her tattered frock

    'Eedless of 'er Mother's warning
    Up to London she 'ad gone
    Yearning for the bright lights gleaming
    'Eedless of temp-ta-shy-on

    But the rich man saw her beauty
    She knew not his base design
    And he took her to a hotel
    And bought her a small port wine

    Then the rich man took 'er ridin'
    Wrecker of poor women's souls
    But the Devil was the chauffeur
    As she rode in his Royce Rolls

    In the rich man's arms she fluttered
    Like a bird with a broken wing
    But he loved 'er and he left 'er
    Now she hasn't got no ring

    It's the same the whole world over
    It's the poor what gets the blame
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure
    Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?

    Time has flown, outcast and helpless
    In the street she stands and says
    While the snowflakes fall around 'er
    "Won't you buy my bootlaces?"

    See him riding in a carriage
    Past the gutter where she stands
    He has made a stylish marriage
    While she wrings her ringless hands

    See him there at the theatre
    In the front row with the best
    While the girl that he has ruined
    Entertains a sordid guest

    See 'er on the bridge at midnight
    She says "Farewell, blighted love"
    There's a scream, a splash......Good 'eavens!
    What is she a-doing of?

    So they dragged 'er from the river
    Water from 'er clothes they wrung
    They all thought that she was drownded
    But the corpse got up and sung

    It's the same the whole world over
    It's the poor what gets the blame
    It's the rich what gets the pleasure
    Ain't it all a bloomin' shame?
