Verse 1
-------
EI never thought it would Ahappen
With me and the girl from EClapham
Out on the windy C#mcommon
That night I ain't Eforgotten
Where she dealt out the Arations
With some or other Epassions
I said you are a C#mlady
Perhaps she said EI may be
Verse 2 (chords are the same as verse 1)
-------
We moved into a basement
With talks of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly
We spent our time just kissin'
The Railway Arms we're missin'
But love had got us hooked up
And all the time it took off
Verse 3 (chords are the same as verse 1)
-------
I got a job with Stanley
He said I'd come in handy
And he started me on Monday
So I had a bath on Sunday
I worked eleven hours
And bought the girl some flowers
She said she'd seen a doctor
And nothing now could stop her
Bridge
------
C#mI worked all through the G#mwinter
The weather brass and F#mbitter
I put away a Btenner
Each week to make her Dbetter
And when the time was Amready
We had to sell the Gmtelly
Late evenings by the Ffire
And little kicks Ainside her
Verse 4
-------
DThis morning at four Gfifty
I took her rather Dnifty
Down to an incuBmbator
Where thirty minutes Dlater
She gave birth to a Gdaughter
Within a year a Dwalker
She looked just like her Bmmother
If there could be DanotherD  A  E  
Verse 5 (chords are the same as verse 1)
-------
And now she's two years older
Her mother's with a soldier
She left me with my drinkin'
Became a proper stingin'
The devil came and took me
From bar to street to bookie
No more nights by the telly
No more nights nappies smelling
Verse 6 (chords are the same as verse 1)
-------
Alone here in the kitchen
I feel there's somethin' missin'
I beg for some forgiveness
But beggin's not my business
And she won't write a letter
Although I always tell her
And so it's my assumption
I'm really up the junction

I never thought it would happen

With me and the girl from Clapham

Out on the windy common

That night I ain't forgotten

Where she dealt out the rations

With some or other passions

I said you are a lady

Perhaps she said I may be

But love had got us hooked up

And all the time it took off

I worked all through the winter

Late evenings by the fire

And little kicks inside her

Within a year a walker

She looked just like her mother
