Mammy's Boy - Joolz

He’s my son, d’you see, my boy

My own flesh and blood

'Course I love him

D’you think I give a damn

For your courts of law?

I’d never have given him up, never, never

He’s all I’ve ever cared about

Since I carried him

He’s been my whole world

Hah, when I was young, they told me

It was all romance, you know

All love and roses

Some man to take care of you

Well, I saw through that quick enough

We all do, don’t we, lasses?

We have to, by god

Oh yes, I married his father right enough

That wasn’t hard… they say

We’re the weaker sex… that’s a joke

I’ve never known a bloke some girl

Couldn’t twist around her little finger

«Aw, don’t go to the pub tonight, love

Don’t see those mates of yours

Why don’t you stay here with me

An' have a… cuddle?»

Nine months later it’s the altar

An' a home of your own at last

Oh don’t look so shocked

Just because I’ll say straight out

What your missus only thinks

It’s the truth, it’s the kids we love

Not you, you pathetic clowns

With your pubs an' beer an' football, hah!

You think you’re so tough

Don’t make me laugh…

You do as much as your woman lets you

An' you never realise

An' now you’re going to take my boy

My baby, an' you stand there with your

Damned solemn faces an' say

«But don’t you realise, madam

He has killed three men?»

Well, yes I do, and what’s more I couldn’t care less

He’s my child, my child

An' whatever you do to him

Wherever you take him

You’ll never take him away from me, never
