AmMy Daddy he were just a boy when Ghe walked outta Emschool,

AmTho’ I can read & write my bloody name & Gsign it where I Amshould’,

Chorus

And he said..

Am‘If I had my time again, I Gknow I’d be a Emlearned man,

An Amartisan in Emhigh demand, a AmDoctor Gor a AmTeacher,

AmHe went wide eyed down tae Johnny Brown, he were a Gbig lad for his Emyears,

AmAnd there he worked so long if he ever cried there’d be Giron ore in his Amtears,

And he’d Amsing to me their dirty songs & Gdiddle me on his Amknee,

Verse

AmWith his mates he’d belt the plates on Gfleets of shining Emawe,

To Amcarry all the well-to-do to Ggolden foreign Emshores,

As the Ampeople sang ‘The Long Black LimouGsine’, Am

We all sing!..
