She sung a song an' I sat silent thereA
Wiv bofe 'ands grippin' 'ard on me chairA
Me 'eart that yesterdee I thort wus brokeB
Wiv 'umpin sich a 'eavy load o' careA
Come swelling in me throat like I would chokeB
I felt 'ot blushes climbin' to me 'airA
-
'Twas like that feelin' when the Spring wind breavesC
Sad music in the sof'ly rustlin' leavesC
An' when a bloke sits down an' starts to chewD
Crook thorts wivout quite knowin' why 'e grievesC
Fer things 'e's done 'e didn't ort to doD
Fair winded wiv the 'eavy sighs 'e 'eavesC
-
She sung a song an' orl at once I seenE
The kind o' crool an' 'eartless broot I beenF
In ev'ry word I read it like a bookG
The slanter game I'd played wiv my DoreenE
I 'eard it in 'er song an' in 'er lookG
I seen wot made me feel fair rotten meanE
-
Poor 'urt Doreen My tender bit o' fluffH
Ar men don't understand they're fur too roughH
Their ways is fur too coarse wiv lovin' tartsC
They never gives 'em symperthy enoughH
They treats 'em 'arsh they tramples on their 'eartsC
Becos their own crool 'earts is leather toughH
-
She sung a song an' orl them bitter thingsC
That chewin' over lovers' quarrils bringsC
Guv place to thorts of sorrer an' remorseC
Like when some dilly punter goes an' slingsC
'Is larst lone deener on some stiffened 'orseC
An' learns them vain regrets wot 'urts an' stingsC
-
'Twas at a beano where I lobs alongI
To drown them memories o' fancied wrongI
I swears I never knoo that she'd be thereA
But when I met 'er eye O 'struth 'twas strongI
'Twas bitter strong that jolt o' dull despairA
'Er look o' scorn An' then she sung a songI
-
The choon was one o' them sad mournful thingsC
That ketch yeh in the bellers 'ere and bringsC
Tears to yer eyes The words was uv a tartJ
'Oo's trackin' wiv a silly coot 'oo slingsC
'Er love aside an' breaks 'er tender 'eartJ
But 'twasn't that it was the way she singsC
-
To 'ear 'er voice A bloke 'ud be a logK
'Oo kep' 'is block Me mind wus in a fogL
Of sorrer for to think 'ow I wus wrongI
Ar I 'ave been a fair ungrateful 'ogI
The feelin' that she put into that songI
'Ud melt the 'eart strings of a chiner dogI
-
I listens wiv me 'eart up in me throatJ
I drunk in ev'ry word an' ev'ry noteJ
Tears trembles in 'er voice when she tells 'owM
That tart snuffed out becos 'e never wroteJ
An' then I seen 'ow I wus like that cowI
Wiv suddin shame me guilty soul wus smoteJ
-
Doreen she never looked my way but stoodJ
'Arf turned away an' beefed it out reel goodJ
Until she sang that bit about the graveN
'Too late 'e learned 'e 'ad misunderstood '-
An' then Gorstrooth The pleadin' look she gaveN
Fair in me face 'ud melt a'eart o' woodJ
-
I dunno 'ow I seen that evenin' thro'A
They muster thort I was 'arf shick I knooE
But I 'ad 'urt Doreen wivout no callO
I seen me dooty wot I 'ad to doJ
O strike I could 'a' blubbed before 'em allO
But I sat tight an' never cracked a booJ
-
An' when at larst the tarts they makes a riseC
A lop eared coot wiv 'air down to 'is eyesC
'E 'ooks on to Doreen an' starts to roamP
Fer 'ome an' muvver I lines up an' criesC
''An's orf I'm seein' this 'ere cliner 'ome '-
An' there we left 'im gapin' wiv surpriseC
-
She never spoke she never said no wordJ
But walked beside me like she never 'eardJ
I swallers 'ard an' starts to coax an' pleadJ
I sez I'm dead ashamed o' wot's occurredJ
She don't reply she never takes no 'eedJ
Jist stares before 'er like a startled birdJ
-
I tells 'er never can no uvver tartJ
Be 'arf wot she is if we 'ave to partJ
I tells 'er that me life will be a wreckI
It ain't no go But when I makes a startJ
To walk away 'er arms is roun' me neckI
'Ah Kid ' she sobs 'Yeh nearly broke me 'eart '-
-
I dunno wot I done or wot I saidJ
But 'struth I'll not forgit it till I'm deadJ
That night when 'ope back in me brisket lobsC
'Ow my Doreen she lays 'er little 'eadJ
Down on me shoulder 'ere an' sobs an' sobsC
An' orl the lights goes sorter blurred an' redJ
-
Say square an' all It don't seem right some'owQ
To say such things but wot I'm feelin' nowE
'As come at times I s'pose to uvver menE
When you 'ave 'ad a reel ole ding dong rowQ
Say ain't it bonzer makin' up agenE
Straight wire it's almost worth Ar I'm a cowE
-
To think I'd ever seek to 'arm a 'airQ
Of 'er dear 'ead agen My oath I swearQ
No more I'll roust on 'er in angry 'eatJ
But still she never seemed to me so fairQ
She never wus so tender or so sweetJ
As when she smooged beneath the lamplight thereQ
-
She's never been so lovin' wiv 'er gazeC
So gentle wiv 'er pretty wimmin's waysC
I tells 'er she's me queen me angel tooJ
'Ah no I ain't no angel Kid ' she saysC
'I'm jist a woman an' I loves yeh trueJ
An' so I'll love yeh all me mortal days '-
-
She sung a song 'Ere in me barmy styleR
I sets orl tarts for in me hour o' trileR
Me soul was withered be a woman's frownE
An' broodin' care come roostin' on me dileR
She sung a song Me 'eart wiv woe carst downE
Wus raised to 'Eaven be a woman's smileR
