She Fought Like A Tiger For 'Er 'Onour - Gracie Fields
She was a country maiden
And he was the squire's son
But a villain of the deepest dye was he
She fell for his endearments and
She thought he was her one
But he was just as bad as bad could be
They courted in the farmyard
Every night at half-past six
She trusted him till one dark night
He tried his monkey tricks
She fought like a tiger for her honour
For her honour for her honour
She fought like a tiger for her honour
But the villain still pursued her to the end
The bitter end
He promised he would wed her
And she thought he'd keep his word
So forgave him 'cause he'd such a winnin' way
But one night in the moonlight
After mixin' lemon curd
She walked with him through fields of new-mown hay
When near a five-barred gate he said
'Let's rest awhile on this '
The trouble started once again when he said
'Give us a kiss '
She fought like a tiger for her honour
He said 'Gertia I won't hurt ya '
She fought like a tiger for her honour
But the villain still pursued her to the end
The bitter end
Once more he tried his nonsense
At the squire's Christmas ball
While the village band was playing 'Tiger Rag '
She'd been drinkin' gin and
Cider poured in shandy cup and all
Then he gave her a doped Egyptian fag
She didn't mind him shakin' 'an's
When it was time to go
But when he tried to kiss her underneath the mistletoe
Well she fought like a tiger for her honour
For her honour for her honour
She fought like a tiger for her honour
But the villain still pursued her to the end
The bitter end
