Mr Connaughton my memory's long, though the have flown Though the have gone. Was your wife's name Marjorie or Were you Cork or Tipperary?
Mr Connaughton we lived underneath Oh you said it was a man had a gap between his teeth And for a I had a gap too But it closed my big teeth came through. Oh it closed when my big came through.
Mr Connaughton you seemed to such a lot And that would us smile too, as often as not Did you a friend who was a soldier? Well I'm gonna join the when I'm older.
I know you paid a fiver for that old motorbike And they said it wouldn't run, but I thought it might. I was asleep when it spluttered into life And I my fist and smiled a secret smile of delight Was your name Kevin or Mike?
I remember when you built us a cart the wheels off a pram, and a plank 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 said "Jesus, 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 and your baby, but we stayed Till finally we got too And I never forget you
Mr Connaughton my long though the years have flown Though the years gone Was your wife's name or Mary? you from Cork or Tipperary?
