Remembrance Day

On your maypole green

See the winding morris men

Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken

Waving hankies, sticks and boots
all the earth and roots

Standing at the crease

The batsman takes a look around

The boys are fielding on home ground

The steeple sharp against the blue

when I think of you

Sam and Andy, Jack and John

Charlie, Martin, Jamie, Ron

Harry, Stephen, Will and Don

Matthew, Michael - on and on

We will remember them

Remember them, remember them

We will remember them

Remember them, remember them

Time has slipped away

The summer sky to autumn yields

A haze of smoke across the fields

Lets up and fight another round

And walk the stubbled ground

When November brings

The poppies on Remembrance Day

When the vicar comes to say

May God bless them, every one

Lest we forget our sons

We will remember them

Remember them, remember them

We will remember them

Remember them, remember them

We will remember them

Remember them, remember them

We will remember them

Remember them, remember them
