Distant Voices, Still Lives Page #4

Don't bury me in this prairie

Take me where the cement grows

Let's get down to some big town

Where they judge a gal

by the cut of her clothes

And you'll stand out in buttons and bows

I love you in buck skin

Or the skirts that you've homespun

But I'll love you longer, stronger

Where your friends don't tote a gun

My bones denounce the buckboard bounce

And the cactus hurts my toes

Let's vamoose where gals keep usin'

Those silks and satins and linen that shows

And you're all mine in buttons and bows

Gimme Eastern trimmin'

where women are women

In high-silk hose and peek-a-boo clothes

And French perfume that rocks the room

And you're all mine

Bows!

Well, Ei...

You're well and truly married now.

Yes.

But I don't feel any different, Maisie.

I don't feel any different.

Don't be worrying.

You'll be all right.

They soon grow up

Maisie is engaged to George Roughley

and I don't think it'll be long

before our Tony marries Rosie Forsyth.

I'll leave the place till morning.

I love the light nights.

But they're starting to draw in now

aren't they Mom?

Yeah

Nellie?

Nellie!

Nell!

- Sorry about the mess Mom

- Go on you're all right I'll see to it

Ah thanks Mom.

See you Mrs. D. Ta-ra.

Enjoy yourselves

You're married now! I'm your husband!

Your duty's to me! Frig everyone else!

Monica. Jingles.

That's all ancient history now.

Come on. Up the dancers

- How much do you love me?

- A pound of sugar!

Hush a bowee, hush a bow

Hush-a-bowee hush-a-bow

Hush-a-bowee hush-a-bow

Hush-a-bowee hush-a-bow

Good night Maisie

Good night, son.

The Sandman is coming.

How much do you love me?

Of one that is so fair and bright

Velut maris stella

Brighter than the day is light

Parens et puella

I cry to thee

Thou see to me

Lady

Pray thy Son for me

Tam pia

That I may come to thee

Maria...

- What do you ask of the Church of God?

- Faith

And what does faith hold out to you?

Life everlasting

- Do you renounce Satan?

- I do renounce him.

- And all his works?

- I do renounce them.

- And all his pomps?

- I do renounce them.

- Are you willing to be baptised?

- I am willing.

Elaine,

ego te baptiso...

...in nomine Patris

et Filii

et Spiritus Sancti.

- Amen.

- Amen.

It's 12 o'clock and for those of you

with friends and relatives in Germany...

...here's Jean Metcalfe on your behalf

taking over for Two-Way Family Favourites

Hello everyone

Someone broke into my heart

And stole a beat or two

The finger of suspicion points at you

Someone took away my sleep

and never left a clue

The finger of suspicion points at you

Just as soon as they can make

the guilty one confess

I know exactly what I'm gonna do
