Rory McLeod - Shirley's Her Name lyrics

Well it's so good to leave home 'cause it's so good to come back home There's no easier place to find on a map She cried to see us go and she cried to see us back There's no-one else in the world who ever loved us like that Shirley's her name but we call her our mum I call my dad "dad", I feel like a prodigal song Well she feeds us like we haven't eaten for weeks She spoils us and still wants to rock us to sleep She woke us up, cooked for us and washed our clothes She used to kiss our knees better, wipe my bubbly nose Shirley's her name but we call her our mum I call my dad "dad", I feel like a prodigal song Well she's so easy to please and she's so easily hurt She loved us even when we're covered in dirt Our mum works all night and day And she's a nurse when we fall, a policeman when we fight A judge when we argue and a singer at night Our mum worked but she never got paid Well you ought to see the way that she serves us She leaves herself 'till last And there were times when we wouldn't even help her And she'd be too tired to ask Well she's a cook, a washerwoman, a teacher and a wife She's our mum, she's the one who worked for our lives Shirley's her name but we call her our mum I call my dad "dad", I feel like a prodigal song Well she's so easy to please and she's so easily hurt She loved us even when we're covered in dirt Our mum worked all night and day Now she's a nurse when we fall, a policeman when we fight A judge when we argue and a singer at night Our mum worked but she never got paid Well it's so good to leave home 'cause it's so good to come back home There's no easier place to find on a map She cried to see us go and she cried to see us back There's no-one else in the world he ever loved us like that Shirley's her name but we call her our mum I call my dad "dad", I feel like a prodigal song
