Mary From Bridgeton
Could anyone please help me find Mary from Bridgeton
We met in South Shields six months ago
I've travelled the world from my hometown of Aden
To search for my Princess here in Glasgow


My English is poor but I am determined to find her
For we fell in love that day at Tyne Dock
She told me she lived just off of the Main Street
At The Cross there's a Toll and above it a clock

The family is well known and soon I am standing
Outside of a close in Acorn Street
I have travelled this far now my hands are trembling
As I knock on the door my heart skips a beat

Now there she is standing her face like an Angel
She beckons me enter then closes the door
Oh Mary , Oh Mary without me my ship can now leave from the shore

This is the story of how my Mum met my Dad
Their's was a love which crossed the divide
They raised me and loved
Then when age took its toll passed to the other side

Now I am reflecting and being nostalgic
Because the years also have caught up with me
As I sit on a bench below Bridgeton's umbrella
Closing my eyes my Mother I see

Now there she is standing her face like an Angel
She beckons me enter then closes the door
Oh Mother, Oh Mother hold me forever
Without me my ship can now leve from the shore
