Five Penny Piece

Re: Five Penny Piece


I've sat on her knee for many an hour
At brown photographs we'd be looking
And she'd tell of the times that she's had in her life
Some good some tears and some laughing
And she'd tell of the times when life was so grand
When the mills were all weaving and spinning
In her bonnet and shawl at the start of each day
To work to play then her courting

Her day it was long, most of them hard
They didn't pay much for her working
But when it were done she always came home
To a house that was poor but was loving
And she lives all alonr since my grandfathr died
She don't have the same joy of living
But she don't mope around, she's always a smile
Old fashioned advice she likes giving

She says times have changed, people have too
They're too busy fighting and grabbing
When she were lass well they hadn't much brass
But ere never frightened of giving
Now my grandfather's boots are still there by the fire
As if home from the mill he'll be coming
And as evening'll draw then you'll find her alone
By the fire, her memories living

Rpt Verse 1

I've sat on her knee for many an hour
At brown photographs we'd be looking.
