I Have A Wife Of My Own

I have a wife of my own,
I will partake with nobody:
I will take cuckold from none,
I will give cuckold to nobody.

I have a penny to spend,
There - thanks to nobody!
I have nothing to lend,
I will borrow from nobody.

I am nobody's lord,
I will be slave to nobody.
I have a good broad sword,
I will take blows from nobody.

I will be merry and free,
I will be sad for nobody,
Nobody cares for me,
I care for nobody.
