Lyrics

Nobby was a soldier, a life in the army
Margarets back home alone waiting suspiciously
She can't hide the misery, the upset & despair
When she found out nobby had been having it off elsewhere
There's eric & there's robby & there's derrick & there's bobby
They gave her the elbow
There's harry & there's willy & there's barry & there's billy also

Whose that then?

[Chorus:]
Woe is me, I'm melancholy margaret, I fret coz they leave me
God help me I'm melancholy. snurree?!

Tommy was a driver he worked on the buses
"I've got some overtime to do" this is what he says
But margaret wasn't having it, she searched high & low
But tommy's gone he's neckin' on in the back of the bus depot

There's ronnie & there's kenny & there's donny & there's denny
They gave her the elbow
There's ronnie & there's timmy & there's micky & there's jimmy also

Whose that then?

Woe is me...<i>[guitar bit]
Woe is me..
