The Photograph of Mother's Wedding Group - Gracie Fields[00:00:00]

Now on me mother's weddin' day of course I wasn't present [00:00:14]

But I've 'eard the way they carried out was daft [00:00:18]

Me aunt who thought she looked like Cleopatra only better [00:00:22]

Said "The wedding group we must 'ave photographed "[00:00:26]

Some people take it for a picture of the death of God[00:00:29]

An' there a storm at sea both natural mistakes [00:00:32]

It's 'angin' in our parlour just be'ind the parrot's cage [00:00:36]

An' you should 'ear the rude remarks that parrot makes [00:00:38]

On the photograph of mother's wedding group [00:00:43]

There must 'ave been a disappointed troop [00:00:47]

You can just see father's top 'at an' that bit's come out a treat [00:00:51]

But both the best man an' the bride 'ave disappeared complete [00:00:56]

'Cause the rest is just a close-up of me Uncle Willie's feet[00:01:00]

On the photograph of mother's wedding group [00:01:05]

A dog's got in the picture; some 'ave mixed it up with father [00:01:10]

But the one in the cleanest collar is the pup [00:01:14]

A friend said we should 'ang the picture upside down an' try it [00:01:17]

But we can't not knowing which is right side up [00:01:23]

We 'ad it in a frame at first but it looked so untidy [00:01:27]

We decided that we'd take it out again [00:01:31]

'Cause Aunt Maggie's in it an' the poor old girl is so bow-legged[00:01:33]

That 'er knees were stickin' right outside the crib [00:01:37]

Oh the photograph of mother's wedding group[00:01:41]

It was 'andy once when I fell in the soup;[00:01:46]

For a fire broke out as ready to jump in the bath I stood [00:01:50]

A fireman rushed me through the hall 'E cried "Delay's no good "[00:01:55]

I'd no time to grab a coat but I did all a woman could[00:01:59]

With the photograph of mother's wedding group [00:02:04]

No matter where we've 'ung that photograph it's been unlucky [00:02:10]

Something's nearly always 'appened this or that [00:02:13]

Last week when it fell off the wall I said "That's somebody's death warnin' "[00:02:16]

An' it was; it went an' fell right on the cat [00:02:21]

I tried to palm it off on other members of the fam'ly [00:02:24]

On 'is birthday I sent it to me Uncle Jack [00:02:28]

I thought I'd done the trick till I'd a letter from 'im sayin'[00:02:30]

That 'is 'eart was weak an' so we'd take it back [00:02:33]

On the photograph of mother's wedding group[00:02:37]

Is the straight-backed girl whom time 'as now made stooped [00:02:43]

Oft I gaze at it with tear-dimmed eyes as shadows come and go [00:02:49]

An' wonder in the silence of the firelight's amber glow [00:02:57]

Once I wondered where the flies all went in winter; now I know:[00:03:04]

On the photograph of mother's wedding group[00:03:11]
