Lindsay was my first love
she was in my class
I would have loved to take her out
but I was too shy to ask
The fullness of my feeling
was never made clear
but I send her my love
and a bang on the ear

Nora was my girl
when I first was in a group
I can still see her to this day
stirring chicken soup
Now she's living in Australia
working for an auctioneer
But I send her my love
and a bang on the ear

Deborah broke my heart
and I the willing fool
I fell for her one summer
on the road to Liverpool
I thought it was forever
but it was over within the year (oh dear)
But I send her my love
and a bang on the ear

The home I made with Bella
became a house of pain
We weathered it together
bound by a ball and chain
It started up in Fife
It ended up in tears
But I send her my love
and a bang on the ear

Krista was a rover
from Canada she hailed
We crossed swords in San Francisco
We both lived to tell the tale
I don't know now where she is
Oh, but if I had her here
I'd give her my love
and a bang on the ear

So my woman of the hearth fire
harbour of my soul
I watch you lightly sleeping
I sense the dream that does unfold .. like gold
You to me are treasure
You to me are dear
So I'll give you my love
and a bang on the ear
