Ethel Was Born

(album: The Family - 2016)

Ethel was born
The day the Titanic sunk
Her father drowned in the Portage Lakes
Known to be a great swimmer
His death was a suicide
And when she died she was ninety-two years old

Bill was from Glasgow
He flew a fighter plane in the war
But after the war he killed a man
And ran away to America

Ethel was born
The day the Titanic sunk
Her mother died when she was young
She took over for her
And took care of her Dad
Until she ran away to New York City

There she met a man named Bill
He was fifteen years older than her
And he already had a wife
But he was soon to be divorced

You and I, are gonna rain girl
You and I, are gonna reign
You and I, are gonna rain girl
You and I, are gonna reign

Like a cloud, in the sky
Like a king and queen, getting high
Like a cloud, in the sky
Like a king and queen, getting high

You and I, are gonna reign
You and I, are gonna rain girl
You and I, are gonna reign
You and I, are gonna rain girl
