My ginger voice was raw with smoke[00:00:00]
They hid their smiles when I stood and spoke[00:00:04]
Some sunny lawn some Saturday[00:00:09]
A face was flushed when I went to sing[00:00:13]
Wild mountain thyme[00:00:18]
But I was crying before the second line[00:00:20]
The strawberry stripes across my ruddy cheeks got em giggling[00:00:29]
My eyes are red and wild and white[00:00:38]
As I choked up over another line[00:00:43]
For years and year I disappeared[00:00:47]
Tonight I'm here and I'm giving my best[00:00:52]
It's all I have[00:00:57]
The grandkids laugh[00:00:59]
My linen vest is yellow stained[00:01:01]
And my teeth are chipped my beard is gray[00:01:06]
Your mother left she's not impressed[00:01:10]
The wedding guests are starting to get restless[00:01:15]
And I think I have worn out my welcome[00:01:19]
But I swear I caught you smile[00:01:26]
From the corner of my eye[00:01:30]
When they threw me off the stage[00:01:35]
Oh I know I saw you smiling[00:01:40]
I swear I saw you smiling[00:01:44]
They carried me away[00:01:49]
Through the center of the crowd[00:01:53]
On the corner of my eye[00:01:58]
I swear I saw you smiling[00:02:02]
You'll always be my darling sweetheart[00:02:07]
