Sobbin' Women

Sobbin' Women from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Evan Dunn-Baritone and Erin Cannon

[@BellaFirenze]

Tell ya 'bout them sobbin' women Who lived in the Roman days. It seems that they all went swimmin' While their men was off to graze. Well, a Roman troop was ridin' by And saw them in their "me oh my", So they took 'em all back home to dry. Least that's what Plutarch says. Oh yes! Them a woman was sobbin', sobbin', sobbin' Fit to be tied. Ev'ry muscle was throbbin', throbbin' From that riotous ride. Oh they cried and kissed and kissed and cried All over that Roman countryside So don't forget that when you're takin' a bride. Sobbin' fit to be tied From that riotous ride! They never did return their plunder The victor gets all the loot. They carried them home, by thunder, To rotundas small but cute. And you've never seens so, They tell me, such downright domesticity. With a Roman baby on each knee Named "Claudius" and "Brute" Oh yes!
