CALUM MORE
(Andy Mitchell)
Oh Calum Moore are you home drunk again.
You've broken your promise for the millionth time
Your family are living near on the breadline
While you fill your belly with whisky and wine.
Do you mind when we married a good time ago
We often shared laughter and seldom rowed
I respected you more than you'll ever know how
But Calum oh Calum just look at you now.
Your beatings I've learned to treat with disdain
My body has hardened and I'm numb to the pain
But I'll never forgive you for hurting my bairns
Oh Calum the drinking has altered your brain.
Then you wake in the morning remorseful and sore
And you promise again that your drinking is o'er
And I want to believe you as often before.
But oh Calum Moore are you home drunk once more.
Oh Calum Moore are you home drunk again.
With max respect to Andy Mitchel for writing this superb song and hope that this version is near to the original. I asked Andy if I could sing it and he said he was more than happy for me to, but it may be good etiquette to ask him before you do. He is on the MC as Strupag as Noreen says.
Hi Noreen. When will we two meet again? Don't even hear from you these days...
