Lyrics Joseph Arthur – Ethel Was Born
Text:
Ethel was born
The day the Titanic sunk
Her father drowned in the Portage Lakes
Known to be a great swimmer
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 rain girl
