    • Verse 1
    Mr 

    Connaughton my 
    memory's 
    long, 

    though 
    the years 
    have 
    flown 

    Though 
    the years 
    have gone. 

    Was your 
    wife's 
    name 

    Marjorie 
    or 
    Mary? 

    Were 
    you 
    from 
    Cork 
    or 
    Tipper

    ary? 


    Verse 2
    Mr 
    Connaughton when 

    we 
    lived 
    under
    neath 

    Oh 
    you said 
    it was 
    a lucky 
    man 
    had a 

    gap 
    between 
    his 
    teeth

    And for 
    a 
    while I 
    had 
    a gap 
    too 

    But it 
    closed 
    when 
    my 
    big 
    teeth 

    came 
    through. 


    Oh 
    it closed 
    when my 

    big teeth 
    came through. 

    Verse 3
    Mr 
    Connaughton you seemed 
    to laugh 

    such 
    a lot 

    And 
    that 
    would 
    make 
    us smile 

    too, as 
    of
    ten 
    as 
    not 

    Did you 
    have 
    a friend 
    who 

    was 
    a soldier
    ? 

    Well 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    join 
    the 
    army 

    when 
    I'm 
    older. 

    Verse 4

    Well I 
    know 
    you paid 
    a fiver 
    for that 

    old 
    motorbike 

    And they said 
    it 
    wouldn't 
    run, 

    but I 
    thought 
    that it 
    might. 

    I was 
    nearly 
    asleep 
    when 

    it spluttered 
    into 
    life 

    And I 
    clenched 
    my 
    fist 
    and smiled 

    a secret 
    smile 
    of delight 

    Was 
    your first 
    name 
    Kevin 

    or 
    Mike? 

    Verse 5

    I remember 
    when 
    you built 

    us 
    a soap-box 
    cart 

    cart 

    With the 
    wheels 
    off 
    a pram, 

    and a 
    plank 
    out 
    in the 
    yard, 

    And you 
    gave us 
    a bit 
    of string 

    but 
    we steered 
    it with 
    our 
    feet. 

    Oh 
    boy 
    it 
    was 
    the be
    st 
    one 
    on 
    the street, 


    And you said 
    "Je
    sus, 

    that's 
    the best 
    one on 
    the street". 

    Verse 6

    I remember 
    when 
    your little 
    girl 
    was 
    born 

    You 
    brought 
    her 
    downstair

    s 
    to show 
    us 
    all, 

    And 
    we 
    were 
    allowed 
    to 
    kiss 
    her

    And 
    I wished 
    she 
    was 
    my 
    sister. 


    Verse 7
    Mr 
    Connaughton, you moved 

    away 

    With your 
    wife 
    and 
    your 
    baby, 

    but 
    we 
    stayed 

    Till finally 
    we got 
    re-house
    d too 

    too 

    And I 
    never 
    will 
    for
    get 
    you 

    Verse 8

    Mr 
    Connaughton my 
    memory's 
    long 

    though 
    the years 
    have 
    flown 

    Though the 
    years 
    have 
    gone 

    Was your 
    wife's 
    name 
    Marjorie 
    or 
    Mary? 

    Were you 
    from 
    Cork

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
