close by wool bridge manor house
at the ship taverns village hall
the cavaliers sixties top band
played rock for one and all
where bovington lads and lass drank dorset brews
of strong ales and bass
nearby the wool village stream did run
close to the alm house the black bears son
here across the egdons heaths
the lads and lassies cut their teeth
by the little purbeck stone bridge
where martyrs band are inscribed in plaque
for unions hand
transported in chains to Aussie land
from tolpuddles piddle Trent and Hyde
when the roads were narrow and the meadows were wide
east stokes manor house
worgret tracks
we walked the lanes of potato sacks
grandmothers white jumped out of their beds and rabbits fur alerted heads
where Lawrence shaw was seen to ride
through clouds hill
forests countryside
on motor bikes so big and wide
