Kelly, Paul - When I First Met Your Ma Lyrics






When I first met your mother
I was playing in a bar
She walked in with my girlfriend
My foolish girlfriend brought her there
She looked so pretty and dangerous
As she brushed back her hair
And I was not the only one
Taking notice in that bar
When I first met your ma

When I first kissed your mother
I was single once again
We walked through Fitzroy Gardens
There she took my hand
We could not stop our kissing
Then she whispered in my ear
'Soon you'll get to know me,
So let's not go too far'
When I first kissed your ma

Love like a bird flies away
You'll find out the only way
Love like a bird flies away

When we first lay together
Inside her father's house
We tried so to be quiet
As we held each other close
Then her dad came pounding and kicked me out of there
I walked two miles in Melbourne rain
I could have walked ten more
When I first loved your ma

Love like a bird flies away
You'll find out the only way
Love like a bird flies away

  3. P.... L....

    This song kills me. So beautiful.

  4. A.... K....

    This and How To Make Gravy are two of my favourite songs by him. Listening to his music is a joy, with their simple, yet beautiful storylines, and the frequent setting of Melbourne, my home city. Thanks Paul.

  5. D.... S....

    The Memories , love Paul's music and my children (now in their 20's) love him as well

  6. C.... C....

    Love that he sings this song from two points of view.

  7. T.... P....

    I loathe the term 'national treasure' because its such an overused cliché, but this man is. Thanks Paul !

  8. 7.... ....

    And Bob Dylan gets The Nobel peace prize... Paul is twice the artist Dylan ever will be

  10. p.... v....

    i walked 5 miles in the melbourne rain but i could have walked 10 more when i first met your ma

  11. P.... B....

    The greatest compliment/ indication of his songwriting ability is shown in the doco on Paul. People associated with him name there favourite Paul song - and nearly everyone had a different song. When you see people of all ages at his concerts, and they know and enjoy the lyrics, tells you of his ability. I personally have about 20 favourite Paul Kelly songs and cant pick one as the best

  12. s.... ....

    The Master.

  13. L.... T....

    I love Paul Kelly, his voice, his songs, his talent - awesomeness!

  14. M.... H....

    The simplicity of Paul's songs is part of their greatness; real life as sung by a real troubador.  His live performances are special and his appeal is wide-reaching.

    This fan says thank you to Paul for the joy and the sorrow that you have been able to express for so many of us throughout your career.
