Luyện nghe bài hát Fortis Green

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

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

There's uncle tellin' stories from the war
Frightening all the kids, yet we'd heard it all
the bombs were droppin' round, there were parties underground
Aunt lil's at the gin, mum's singing songs
From the 40's when variety, max miller was strong
All the characters are gone, oh, what a shame
I wish that it could be like it was in the old
Sat on auntie's knee, bread in the fire-place

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

Sister's in the doorway, snogging with her
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 to do my courting on an old kitchen chair
The girls were all so sporting, but I only really cared for my katie-sue
There was she wouldn't do
after tea we would listen to the wireless
Hancock's half-hour, luxembourg. we'd sit for

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