Mr Connaughton when we lived Oh you said it was a lucky man had a gap between his 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 Connaughton you seemed to such a lot And that make us smile too, as often as not Did you have a who was a soldier? Well I'm join the army when I'm older.
Well I you paid a fiver for that old motorbike And they it wouldn't run, but I thought that it might. I was nearly asleep when it spluttered into And I clenched my fist and smiled a secret smile of Was your first name or Mike?
I remember when you us a soap-box cart With the off a pram, and a plank out in the yard, And you gave us a bit of string but we 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 your girl was born You brought her downstairs to us all, And we allowed to kiss her And I she was my sister.
Mr Connaughton, you moved With your wife and baby, but we stayed Till finally we got too And I will forget you
Mr Connaughton my memory's long though the years have Though the have gone Was your wife's name or Mary? you from Cork or Tipperary?
