HAPPY
From the moment I left" Old Senty " my thoughts would go wandering back
To all the things we did as kids, we were as happy as could be
There was Mum, Dad and three sisters, our Sue, Elaine, Vicki and me
We didn't have a washer, we didn't have a bath
But one thing we did a lot of was to laugh and laugh and laugh
Our tin bath was in the back yard, so was our dolly tub and mangle
The outhouse was next to the toilet, there was aluminium bin with two handles
Winters were really cold, extra blankets on the bed
Fire made up at night "hope it's in, in the morning" Dad said
Mam could feed the five thousand with recipes no-ones ever done
We loved every single mouthful and always had a full tum!
The reports said we were bad off, they said we lived in slums
But most of those kids worked hard just like their dads and mums
Yes they made it ---they did well, they didn't know life's plans
They weren't dragged up, They were raised in St Ann's
We were always so Happy, mum and dad were always making us laugh
I still laugh a lot, remembering happy days ,
