Bessy

Bessy she still believe in the old way You have to work to earn an honest pay And that for every one there is some job to do And that easy money is not good for you. She feels her family is now in shame Her son in law for want of better name Is on the dole drawing welfare from the State 'The shame of it he's not pulling his weight'. She wonders what her daughter in him see He's such a burden on society He draws the dole and sits at home all day Whilst others work to earn an honest pay. She know her friends know that her son in law The easy money from State coffers draw And she knowing how judgemental they can be No longer invite them around for tea. She's not known any happiness of late Her son in law drawing welfare from the State Her pride and all she stand for is at stake And all of this too much for her to take.
