Lyrics By LH Trevail

School House


There are no children in the school house, mama

There are no children in the school

You said that you went past the school house, mama

I don’t think you went there at all


It’s may day bank holiday, mama

The masters will all be in bed

I don’t think you went past the school house, mama

I think you went past daddy’s house instead


You smell like my daddy’s house, mama

Your cheeks and your fingers are red

I think you went to daddy’s house, mama

And I think that my daddy is dead


Someone will come for you, mama

I think the policemen will call

I’ll tell them I saw you by the school house, mama

I’ll tell them I was waiting by the school
