 the gypsy poet

the roads of dorset


   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
