Edgar Guest - Ma An` MeEdgar Guest - Ma An` Me
Work rating: Low


There’ve been times we`d disagree Somethin` awful, Ma an` me; Times when I would bang the door Never to come back no more, An` go stompin` down the street Sayin` things I won`t repeat; Vowin` that the only course For us two was a di-vorce. Then when it come time for tea We`d make up, would Ma an` me. We`ve had many a lively spat Arguin` over this an` that. There`ve been times when Ma got mad, Said enough o` me she`d had, Tired o` listenin` to me jaw; Reckoned that she`d go t` law, Tell the judge her tale o` woe, An` my own way I could go. Then the children we would see An` we`d laugh, would Ma an` me. Ma an` me ain`t angels quite, Neither of us does things right. She`s got reason fer complaint, She ain`t married to a saint; Guess I`ve tried her patience more Than the children round the door; An` at times, by all that`s fine, Ma has certainly tried mine. But together still are we, Pals an` lovers Ma an` me. We`ve just plodded on the way Hand in hand from day to day, Workin` for the greatest good, Doin` just the best we could. Gettin` mad, as people will, But remainin` faithful still. An` we`ve never gone to bed Till we took back all we said, Kissed, an` vowed we`d always be Pals an` sweethearts—Ma an` me.
