There was a woman
A funny little thing
Bare feet old nylon dress
Like Orci, couldn\'t sing.
Bad B.O.
Oysters were her fame
Only pearl amongst them
That was the claim.
Devoted to her husband
But never wore a ring.
To her friends she was everything.
She could drink like a fish and swear like a trooper
Joke like a barmaid
She really was super.
Given the gift of the Fathers heart
After two breakdowns
A new life she did start.
Honest as the days were long, confident in the words of the son.
Leaving behind the sins of the past, working for treasure destined to last.
When she passed some years ago
Wanted no one at the burial.
She said: \"it\'s just a carcass going into a hole.\"
\"After three days have a service in the Chapel to praise the Lord.\"
So that\'s what we did
And everyone balled.
Not tears of sadness but tears of joy!
I know this is true
I am her little boy.
