My Wife, Johnnys Morris Minor - Richie Kavanagh

Well Johnny are you going to sing a little song

I'm going to sing about me little morris minor

An I'll sing a song about me wife

Right you start an I'll join in

Oh me wife she is five foot three a blond there is no finer

I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine she's a little a morris minor

I met her at a dance one night below in enniscorthy

I traded in a commer van it was a nineteen forty

Well we sang and danced all night long sure we could not be parted

I had her for about an hour before I got her started

I asked her if I could leave her home she said her name was june

I never liked the colour she was a dirty red maroon

Oh me wife she is five foot three a blond there is no finer

I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine she's a little a morris minor

I met her at a dance one night below in enniscorthy

I traded in a commer van it was a nineteen forty

Well I walked her home held her tight we done things ya could not mention

But I tell ya sure and certain boys she had a great suspension

Well we courted strong for six long months before I did propose

It was then she got all steamed up and burst her water hose

Oh me wife she is five foot three a blond there is no finer

I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine she's a little a morris minor

I met her at a dance one night below in enniscorthy

I traded in a commer van it was a nineteen forty

On a day in june we were wed our hearts the did entwine

But most of her upholstery was tied up would baling twine

She looked so well on our honeymoon in her night attire

She had lovely cromey head lights but a very bad spare tyre

Oh me wife she is five foot three a blond there is no finer

I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine she's a little a morris minor

I met her at a dance one night below in enniscorthy

I traded in a commer van it was a nineteen forty

Well now we have five children the youngest he is pat

There's a fair auld spark left in her though sometimes the batteries flat

Now junes hair is turning grey but there is no finer

And I wouldn't trade her for the world me little morris minor

Oh me wife she is five foot three a blond there is no finer

I bought her in nineteen fifty-nine she's a little a morris minor
