Come Away Melinda
Daddy, daddy, come and lookSee what I have foundA little ways away from hereWhile digging in the ground
Come away MelindaCome in and close the doorIt's nothing, just a picture-bookThey had before the war
Daddy, daddy, come and seeDaddy, come and lookWhy, there's four or fiveLittle Melinda girlsInside my picture book
Come away MelindaCome in and close the doorThere were lots of little girls like youBefore they had the war
Oh Daddy, daddy, come and seeDaddy, hurry doWhy, there's someoneIn a pretty dressShe's all grown up like youWon't you tell me why
Come away MelindaCome in and close the doorThat someone is your MummyYou had before the war
Daddy, daddy, tell me if you canWhy can't things beThe way they wereBefore the war began
Come away MelindaCome in and close the doorThe answer lies in yesterdayBefore they had the war
