Full Song Lyrics

Doreen Lucy Tugwood started breathing
Sept 1, 1922
In a place called Romney Marsh
In a little part of England known to few

Her canvas started out as plain as any
But a steady hand with paint so rich in love
produced a masterpiece framed by family and faith in god above

Chorus

Send her Victorious, Happy and Glorious
Long to reign over us
God Save our Queen

Doreen Lucy Carroll she got married
to a soldier sent to fight a world war
She sailed in secret convoy to his home in Canada in ’44

She landed safe in Halifax, a stranger
Just 21 with a daughter and a son
They took a train to Arnprior and waited for the War to be done

Chorus

Bridge:

And she met her share of obstacles with stoic English grace
2 husbands and a daughter have been readying a place
And when the good lord calls her we won’t question where she goes
We’ll know, We’ll know, We’ll know, We’ll know

Doreen Lucy Daley has been painting
Living nearly 4 score years and ten
A mother, wife, and friend
A loyal Christian, English woman to the end

There are those who measure life in dollars
but Doreen knows its love you leave behind
On her family tree her love abounds
in her 25 new lines.
