Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDAA EEFFGGHHAA IIJJBBKKAA LLMMNNOOAAThere've been times we'd disagree | A |
Somethin' awful Ma an' me | A |
Times when I would bang the door | B |
Never to come back no more | B |
An' go stompin' down the street | C |
Sayin' things I won't repeat | C |
Vowin' that the only course | D |
For us two was a di vorce | D |
Then when it come time for tea | A |
We'd make up would Ma an' me | A |
- | |
We've had many a lively spat | E |
Arguin' over this an' that | E |
There've been times when Ma got mad | F |
Said enough o' me she'd had | F |
Tired o' listenin' to me jaw | G |
Reckoned that she'd go t' law | G |
Tell the judge her tale o' woe | H |
An' my own way I could go | H |
Then the children we would see | A |
An' we'd laugh would Ma an' me | A |
- | |
Ma an' me ain't angels quite | I |
Neither of us does things right | I |
She's got reason fer complaint | J |
She ain't married to a saint | J |
Guess I've tried her patience more | B |
Than the children round the door | B |
An' at times by all that's fine | K |
Ma has certainly tried mine | K |
But together still are we | A |
Pals an' lovers Ma an' me | A |
- | |
We've just plodded on the way | L |
Hand in hand from day to day | L |
Workin' for the greatest good | M |
Doin' just the best we could | M |
Gettin' mad as people will | N |
But remainin' faithful still | N |
An' we've never gone to bed | O |
Till we took back all we said | O |
Kissed an' vowed we'd always be | A |
Pals an' sweethearts Ma an' me | A |
