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
