lyrics

Good Mam

Marie Meade was elegant indeed
With great ability and drive.
Eldest of eleven, she went to live at her uncles pub
While she was still only a child.
As the years rolled by a young man began to call
He had bright white gloves and a carriage for the ball.
They fell in love and married too!
So began her family that grew.

My Mam was a good Mam
Best Mam of them all.
My Mam was a good Mam.
After her I was called.

Worked hard as a secretary
Typed articles for the Church
Committed to her family
The children that she birthed
She never forgot my birthday
Whether I was far or wide
Sometimes she told us stories
She was clever and was kind.

My Mam was a good Mam
Best Mam of them all.
My Mam was a good Mam.
After her I was called.

Sometimes after service she cycled with her friend
They chatted while they peddled, enjoyed the weekends.
That friend was a good friend and they remained so
Right up until the end when it was time to go.

As she lay in her bed
at the end of a good life
I brought my Mam some flowers
She knew that they were mine .... before she closed her eyes.

My Mam was a good Mam
Best Mam of them all.
My Mam was a good Mam.
After her I was called.
My Mam was a good Mam
Head rest on her chin
My Mam was a good Mam
I keep her safe within.......my heart.
