Betty Bull Lyrics

She'd be standing by the old AGA

When I came running in from school

She'd wipe the tear from eye 

And that knowing smile told me I was nobody's fool

She'd just tell me how much she loved us

And the teacher, well there was your dunce .

But if you ever wore your shoes on her clean clean floor

Well you only did that once

We were her pride and joy

We were her pride and joy

She would take on the world 

For her three boys

We were her pride and joy 

Her brothers and sisters were hawkers

Well versed in the travellers ways

And at five years old

She took me out on the road

I've seldom known happier days

We were her pride and joy

We were her pride and joy

She would take on the world 

For her three boys

We were her pride and joy 

She said, dream your dreams scheme your schemes

Pay heed to everyone

But remember where you came from my son ,walk don't run 

Wednesday night was bingo

In a draughty old Nissan hall

I'd be quiet as a mouse for a line a full house

And Stanley Jack used to call

Although she's been gone a few years now

I know she'd be beaming with pride

At how this awkward little boy

Looked the world in the eye

With Betty Bull by his side 

We were her pride and joy

We were her pride and joy

She would take on the world 

For her three boys

We were her pride and joy
