Granny Was A Suffragette - Jules Gibb

You never knew my granny, she died some years ago , She lived in that old folks'home in moss side, you know.
I used to go on sundays, sometimes took the kids. I was always proud of what she did.

Granny was a suffragette- one of the last alive, Granny was a suffragette - over ninety five
Singing - votes for women is just the beginning., You haven't seen anything yet -
Granny was a suffragette.

The proudest day of granny's life was when the vote was won. , The papers said it's over; but gran had just begun.
Her wo- men's committee went on to organise., And challenged - the union- the council and their lies.

Granny was a suffragette - only five feet tall; Granny was a suffragette - took on city hall,
Singing - votes for women is just the beginning, You haven't seen anything yet -
Granny was a suffragette.

Now here I stand so proudly with my college degree , And my daughters have more options than granny could foresee, But if you think we're satisfied, take a look around,
There's lots of angry women who won't let their granny down.

Granny was a suffragette - it's as if she's still alive; granny was a suffragette - their voices still survive, singing - votes for women is just the beginning, you haven't seen anything yet -

Granny was a suffragette - its as if she’s still alive. Granny was a suffragette, their voices still survive
Singing - votes for women is just the beginning, You haven’t seen anything yet
Granny was a suffragette
