My Mother Loved Me When my schooling had begun Carried Sally half a satchel All the way from school Fighting, fighting, so exciting Swimming in the pool Ah, I wish those times would come again Just for one more day The things I did would all be the same And the games I'd play Days were Sunday, pocket money Had a dog when I was young Stayed out too late with a new date Every hour filled with fun Church bells chiming over the hillside Calling me for tea Knock on doors then run away hide Playing by the sea Ah, I wish those times would come again Just for one more day The things I did would all be the same And the games I'd play *
