lyrics
When Dick Met Alma
Rod Hall, Kevin Adams & Godfrey Yeomans
First set my eyes upon the girl when we were stacking hay
It was a job I’d rarely do, I’m glad I did that day
She walked below me in the lane, I looked down from on high
Such beauty I’d not seen before, she fairly took my eye.
I asked around and I was told she’s here for seven days
Visiting from Manchester, her name is Alma Gray
I treasured all I’d learnt so far and vowed to find out more
Our paths would cross, I’d speak to her, of that I’d make quite sure
I didn’t have to wait too long, the chance was soon to come
I met her walking down the street as I was cycling home
We talked a bit, we laughed a bit, then brazen as you like
To my surprise she hitched a ride on the crossbar of my bike
Well, if you’ve ever been in love you’ll know how these things go
When she went home we kept in touch, and so our love did grow
Letters written, promises, and then one special day
Asking her to marry me, I knew what she would say.
Was something magic in the air? Well we could never tell…
My brother Bob, her sister Glad were deep in love as well
Me and Alma say it’s fate, things had to be this way
Two brothers and two sisters, a double wedding day
Two brothers and two sisters, a double wedding day
Rod Hall, Kevin Adams & Godfrey Yeomans
