Luyện nghe bài hát Fortis Green

Mum would and scream when dad would come home drunk
she asked him where he'd been, he'd say "up the clissold arms"
Chatting up huzzy, but he didn't mean no harm
morning drives, just to get away
Ramsgate or southend, it always be a laugh
Paddling by the sea, trousers up to the knees
Walking by the sea, full of dreams, eating ice
Grandma's burnt her cheeks getting brown, turn her

Fortis green, memories of days when I was
It can only be a memory. a that now has gone

There's uncle frank tellin' from the war
Frightening all the kids, yet heard it all before
While the bombs droppin' round, there were parties underground
lil's at the gin, while mum's singing songs
From the 40's when variety, max was going strong
All the are gone, oh, what a blooming shame
I wish it could be like it was in the old days
Sat on knee, toasting bread in the fire-place

Fortis green, of days when I was young
It can be a memory. a time that now has gone
Memories of fortis green, I was just a lad
Collecting bottle tops, threepenny bits. fishing my dad

Sister's in the doorway, snogging her bloke
Scared to put the cat out I put him off his stroke
But she wouldn't be denied, I got a as a bribe
I used to do my courting on an old kitchen
The girls were all so sporting, but I only cared for my little katie-sue
There was nothing she do
after tea we would listen to the wireless
Hancock's half-hour, luxembourg. sit for hours

Fortis green, memories of days when I was
It can be a memory. a time that now has gone
Fortis green, memories of days I was young
bottle tops, threepenny bits. fishing with my dad
