when i ran with the turners
the mabeys and kings
the heath lands were wild then
the chaff finch did sing
there were sites at the corner
where the johns kids did play
i remember it fondly
twas as if yesterday
the bunk off man was waterman
from branksome heath school
we hid in the fir cones
on sea view near Poole
we often played marbles
then conkers was cool
when we ran with the zunners
from kinson to Poole
we rode the wee brown bus to up on the hill
the regal house flicks and the waterloo pool
there twer Gypsy's sites spread all over the lanes
i remember it well and the brick making men
with their watches with chains
the snake was the pub where the Stanley's did fight
there's was shove halfpenny playing both day n night
old bill knotty sold shoes laces and matches up on the hill
when we walked to school daily and still had time to kill
spider was the cool accordion man
an eye for the ladies with his tattoos n plans
lady wimborne gave a field to the people of Poole
reg rogers and Alice saw bill Cody too
i remember the omnium brick company
the Manning's brickyard and the rogers truck crew
when Charlie had his pig sties and lester was rich
we walked to lodge hills and i fell in a ditch
the heaths were full of blossoms afore broom roads drugs
i remember families built homes cut outs in mud
there were bakers and archers maidment and fools
little boy tucker and how do you do
the heaths were a joy then with lizards and snakes
where rabbits ran free and Sutton's were never too late
there twer a race track at northbourne or was it red hill
my memories going though i remember it still
there were coal men and rovers and a johnny from France
who came every summer with his onion man dance
folks worked in the factory's upon Wallis downs
a penny was something and a pig could be bought for half of a crown
the cartwheels did roll and the gypsies did sing
the birdsong did wake you each morning at spring
