Marty's mam forever smiling, she would always grin
Every time we called around to see if Marty's in
Marty's mam would answer the door and with a smiling face
We remember Marty's mam, the world was a better place

Seems like only yesterday, Marty turned to me to say
What could I do if me mam ever passed away?

On the night Marty's mam died
In a mess, as you can guess,
Marty's in a mess, but what can we do?
Marty's mortified
To get him through, we don't have a clue
Just what can we do? Marty

Ya may be glum, ya may be down, like I always am
But you'll be fine with a bottle o' wine and word with Marty's mam
Feeling blue not long ago, I gave Marty a call
And once I spoke with Marty's mam, I didn't feel blue at all

Never a moan and never a groan, never melancholy
Forever and ever in Marty's memory

On the night Marty's mam died
In a mess, as you can guess,
Marty's in a mess, but what can we do?
Marty's mortified
To get him through, we don't have a clue
Just what can we do? Marty
