Make me a promise

When I was twelve and you were ten We sat on the harbour wall My stomach churned And my cheeks they burned As my heart for you did fall

Your father said On that Saturday night I must never again come by Stay home he said and wait ten years And how our hearts did sigh

Ten years they passed And again we met It was almost ordained we should I’ll not be told to stay away And in front of your father I stood

You’ll be a bold young man But if you care for our daughter dear You’ll work damned hard And you’ll build a home Do I make myself perfectly clear?

I asked for your hand in marriage Do what you’ve promised, he said Be good, loyal, and honest Respectful and proud Now buy her a ring and be wed

I worked damn hard and built a home As I gave him my word that I would On the birth of our son With grandchild in arms He finally understood
