Brighton, Sussex, 1930
This is the story of Margaret who
You'll get to know before we're through.
Poor Margaret never knew her dad.
Which made her childhood hard and sad.
Back then they used to blame the kid
For what it was their parents did.
Sad to tell poor Margaret's mother
Fell for a man who'd wed another.
He took advantage then forsook;
Margaret's mother; family cook.
Domestic servant; left with child,
Abandoned woman, blamed, reviled.
She couldn't keep both baby and job
Was left to weep, to cry, to sob.
The child was fostered, given away,
Her mother given little say.
To know what happened next read on.
The child was my mother, I'm her son.
