She picked out an engagement ring, it was a big gold shiny thing
C F C G
Each other smiled in Banbridge town, looked you up and down, like you were the

Clarion the function place, you can’t forget the look, on your dear mum’s face

The day that you dug your own ditch, you’re done and said ‘You’re nothing but a

Northern bitch’
C F C G
Immediately she called you ‘Free State prick’ ‘Spawn of the Queen’ and lots of
juicy bits
C F
But by that stage you’d given her up, even when she told you, she was up the duff
C F C G C
Two years on and it’s all up the creek, you see the kid, once a week.
[Chorus]
