i walked the roads of dorset
when i lived at Carey camp
i knew the durzet country
i didn't need no map or lamp
i strolled the hills of the purbecks
climbed the creech burrows highest point
ambled through the meadows
the ranges at lulworth
where they say
there's hippys hidden joints
could tell ya many a story
about olde wareham town
the mickey monkey on the quayside
the swans belong to the crown
the bell ringing i did at st Marys
the wrestling ring at weymouth town
swanage steam railways
a ride for half a crown
the grockels at the seaside
the mermaids at Poole bay
the little cottage of hardy
the clouds hill of old shaw on the way
the garrison at bovy
the sandbanks sandy shores
the commons of old kinson
the egdon heather moors
the lodge hills up to ferndown
the gals out at west moors
the fairgrounds back of Poole harbor
the lady bankes of corfe
the castle of blytons adventures
the cherries soccer's hallowed turf
the Dorchester museum
the maids castle with no stone
the arched doorway to the seaside
the lulworth rocky shore n home
the children playing chase
the common country laws
the wool bridge manor sanctuary
the walks up to Arne and ridge
the rooks and the many bites of midge
the park at poole
where a little train still runs
the meadows and the family of Barnes
the Bere regis road to dorset town
the jolly roger ships
the ship n willet arms n crown
the speedway and the circus tops
the pleasant country rides
the singing of the warbler birds
the lapping of the tides
twas a pleasant scene my dears
with children by the score
we walked the dorset country
then next week there was more-
children
