Weight in Gold
Style: Ceilidh jig

[Verse 1]
Plums stacked high in a wooden crate
Brass scales waiting, ready to weight
Nothing on earth could tip them fair
You're the treasure that nobody can spare

[Chorus]
Mabel, Mabel, heavy as gold
Worth more than these hands can hold
Put you on the scales tonight
Mabel, you outweigh the light

[Verse 2]
Every plum picked out with care
None of them shine like you do there
Stack the crate up to the brim
Still you'd outshine every one of them

[Pre-chorus]
Load the scales, call out the weight
Watch the needle swing and wait
Nothing balances what you make us feel

[Chorus]
Mabel, Mabel, heavy as gold
Worth more than these hands can hold
Put you on the scales tonight
Mabel, you outweigh the light

[Bridge]
No number fits what you're worth
Not since the day of your birth
Every year the scale tips more
We just keep loving you, that's for sure

[Chorus]
Mabel, Mabel, heavy as gold
Worth more than these hands can hold
Put you on the scales tonight
Mabel, you outweigh the light

[Outro]
Stack the plums back in the crate
You're the finest thing we weigh
