Mr Connaughton my memory's long, though the years have Though the years gone. Was wife's name Marjorie or Mary? you from Cork or Tipperary?
Mr Connaughton when we lived Oh you said it was a man had a gap between his teeth And for a I had a gap too But it closed when my big came through. Oh it closed my big teeth came through.
Mr you seemed to laugh such a lot And would make us smile too, as often as not Did you have a who was a soldier? Well I'm gonna join the army I'm older.
Well I know you a fiver for that old motorbike And they said it wouldn't run, but I thought it might. I was nearly asleep it spluttered into life And I clenched my fist and smiled a secret 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 us a bit of string but we steered it with our feet. Oh boy it was the one on the street, And you "Jesus, that's the best one on the street".
I remember when little girl 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 wife and baby, but we stayed Till we got re-housed too And I never forget you
Mr Connaughton my memory's though the years have flown Though the years gone Was wife's name Marjorie or Mary? you from Cork or Tipperary?
