CYRIL DUNCAN Hawthorne Qld Recorded
The Whore's LamentReturning one night to my home rather lateFrom an old friend whom I'd just seen I saw an old woman following a girl Her daughter about seventeen Her weak voice was calling 'come home with me now' But the girl no attention did pay As she was entering a house of ill fame These words the old woman did say Come back to your brothers and sisters Come back to your father and me So not desert us to lead a bad life I've been a good mother to thee You know very well your father is ill Come home dear and try to behave Don't go in that place, twill bring us disgrace And drive your old parents to the grave |
