about

From the play 'Your Loving Brother Albert', set during the First World War.

lyrics

Violet’s Song
Words & music: J Cunningham

I met him on a Saturday, he looked smart in his uniform
We strolled along Church Street with his sister May
He didn’t talk much but said his name was Albert,
Could he walk with me on Sunday?
I said certainly, for my heart was a little wobbly…

We said goodbye on Sunday I asked him for a photograph
I think that maybe I was a little bold
You don’t have very much time when you’re a soldier
So I’ll send him off a letter,
He will write to me, as my heart is a little wobbly…

He’s learning to fight somewhere south of Aldershot
It won’t be long now before he’s as the front
I hope he’s on leave again I hope he’s home for Christmas
When this blessed war is done
We’ll have a chance to see why my heart is a little wobbly.
