Mr Connaughton my memory's long, though the have flown Though the have gone. Was your wife's name or Mary? you from Cork or Tipperary?
Mr when we lived underneath Oh you said it was a lucky man had a gap his teeth And for a I had a gap too But it closed when my big came through. Oh it closed when my big teeth through.
Mr you seemed to laugh such a lot And that would make us smile too, as as not Did you a friend who was a soldier? Well I'm join the army when I'm older.
Well I know you paid a for that old motorbike And they it wouldn't run, but I thought that it might. I was nearly asleep it spluttered into life And I clenched my fist and a secret smile of delight Was your name Kevin or Mike?
I when you built us a soap-box cart With the wheels off a pram, and a out in the yard, And you gave us a bit of string but we steered it our feet. Oh boy it was the one on the street, And you said "Jesus, the best one on the street".
I remember when your little was born You her downstairs to show us all, And we were allowed to her And I she was my sister.
Mr Connaughton, you away With your and your baby, but we stayed Till we got re-housed too And I never will you
Mr Connaughton my memory's though the years have flown the years have gone Was your name Marjorie or Mary? Were you from or Tipperary?
