Song - His Letter (continued)
“Dear Mary it's years since we parted”
(continued from previous page)VI
And the balks are all still on the quay, John,
And your sweethearts are near on the shelf
And all that I tell you, I pray John,
You’ll come home and find out for yourself.
But sure my last letter miscarried
For you ask if you’re loved as of yore
So mustn’t have heard I have married
And am now the proud mother of four.
