Mothers Daughters Wives

Biografia:

The Corries were a Scottish folk group which emerged from the Scottish folk revival of the early 1960s. Although the group went through several changes of line-up in the early days, it was as the partnership of Roy Williamson (1936 - 1990) and Ronnie Browne that it is best known. The early 1970s were the Corries' finest hour.

In 1962, Roy Williamson teamed up with Bill Smith and Ron Cockburn to form the "Corrie Folk Trio". Their first performance was in the Waverley Bar in St Mary's Street, Edinburgh.

[Chorus]
G D
The first time it was fathers, the last time it was sons
G C D
And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns
G C G
But you never thought to question you just went on with your lives
C Am C D Dsus4 D
'Cause all they'd taught you who to be was mothers, daughters, wives

[Verse 1]
G D
You barely just remember the tears your mother shed
G C D
As she sat and read the paper through the lists and lists of dead
G C G
And the gold frame held the photograph your mother kissed each night
C Am C D Dsus4 D
And the door frame held the shocked and silent stranger from the fight

[Verse 2]
G D
And twenty-one years later you had children of your own
G C D
The trumpet sounded once again and the soldier boys were gone
G C G
And you made their guns and drove their trucks and you tended to their wounds
C Am C D Dsus4 D
At night you kissed their photographs and prayed for safe returns

[Chorus]
G D
The first time it was fathers, the last time it was sons
G C D
And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns
G C G
But you never thought to question you just went on with your lives
C Am C D Dsus4 D
'Cause all they'd taught you who to be was mothers, daughters, wives

[Verse 3]
G D
And when it was all over you had to learn again
G C D
To be just wives and mothers though you'd done the work of men
G C G
So you worked to help the needy and you never trod on toes
C Am C D Dsus4 D
And the photo on the mantelpiece struck a happy family pose

[Verse 4]
G D
But your daughters grew to women and your little boys to men
G C D
And you wished that you were dreaming when the call-up came again
G C G
But you proudly smiled and held your tears as they proudly waved good bye
C Am C D Dsus4 D
But the photos on the mantelpieces it always made you cry

[Chorus]
G D
The first time it was fathers, the last time it was sons
G C D
And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns
G C G
But you never thought to question you just went on with your lives
C Am C D Dsus4 D
'Cause all they'd taught you who to be was mothers, daughters, wives

[Verse 5]
G D
And now your growing older and in time the photos fade
G C D
In widowhood you sit back and reflect on the parade
G C G
And the passing of your memories as your daughters change their lives
C Am C D Dsus4 D
Seeing more to their existences than just mothers, daughters, wives

[Chorus]
G D
The first time it was fathers, the last time it was sons
G C D
And in between your husbands marched away with drums and guns
G C G
But you never thought to question you just went on with your lives
C Am C D Dsus4 D
'Cause all they'd taught you who to be was mothers, daughters, wives

G C G
And you never thought to question you just went on with your lives
C Am D7 G
'Cause all they'd taught you who to be was mothers, daughters, wives
