Mr Connaughton my long, though the years have flown the years have gone. Was your wife's Marjorie 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 teeth through. Oh it when my big teeth came through.
Mr Connaughton you seemed to such a lot And that would make us smile too, as as not Did you have a who was a soldier? Well I'm gonna the army when I'm older.
Well I know you a fiver for that old motorbike And said 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 smile of delight Was your first Kevin or Mike?
I remember when you 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 to kiss her And I she was my sister.
Mr Connaughton, you away your wife and your baby, but we stayed Till we got re-housed too And I will forget you
Mr Connaughton my memory's long though the years flown Though the have gone Was your wife's name or Mary? Were you Cork or Tipperary?
