Turn Erbert's Face To The Wall - Gracie Fields

Hello everybody

We once were a most 'appy 'ouse'old

With smiles on our lips all the time

Till some cruel an' black-'earted villain

Showed us the pathway to crime

Young 'Erbert patronized racin'

But none of his horses would win

So he robbed a harmless old bookie

An' went off to jail for his sin

Turn 'Erbert's face to the wall Mother

Nevermore mention his name

For he's brought disgrace on the family

An' bowed down our heads with shame

Father took lessons in forgin'

Pound notes were his favourite line

Till he offered one in the courthouse

When he had to pay a small fine

Turn Father's face to the wall Mother

Is photograph turn on its nail

He won't see the last rose this summer

They've taken him back to jail

Rosie she went to the pictures

An innocent girl she was then

She forgot what her mother had told her

About takin' gifts from strange men

Turn Rosie's face to the wall Mother

Her picture shall hang on black string

She may have her furs an' her jewels

But she's got no wedding ring

Our house'old is scattered an' broken

Our future will never the same

Young Alfred 'as now departed

An' Fanny has lost her good name

Turn us all round to the wall Mother

We're all just as bad as can be

An' it's all through you meetin' poor Father

You've ruined the family
