Street Dogs - Elizabeth lyrics

Sha-La-La Sha-La-La Shine on me Sha-La-La Sha-La-La Shine on me She shuffles her feet In that kitchen retreat Victorian respite Irish streets of gold Far removed from her sod Where they ran from an angry god Then settled into Triple Stacked apartment row Yes the husband came next Then young children test No doubt she cared so well Fed an army of six With Ol' Harr in the mix The patience of a saint A virtuous woman Bearer of the family flame Elizabeth, Elizabeth We honor your name Sha-La-La Sha-La-La Shine on me Sha-La-La Sha-La-La Shine on me Told it was to that Harry She had up and wed But we never got to know him 'Cause the bottle struck him dead Informed he carried that curse Some of us would know So she waved goodbye to Hartland Off to Romsey she'd go Then the kids they have kids Once again testing wits She took it in her stride Up until her last days Steadfast in her ways Inspiring to me A virtuous woman Bearer of the family flame Elizabeth, Elizabeth We honor your name That virtuous woman Bearer of the family flame Elizabeth, Elizabeth We honor your name Sha-La-La Sha-La-La Shine on me Sha-La-La Sha-La-La Shine on me
