Born In Crookes

Born in Crookes Born in Crookes

And I drank in the Broomhill Tavern

Cherry B's and cider in the same glass

Then me and ma mate Jules would go along West St

All the bars christ only knows there was enough of them

I learnt to swim at Glossop Road baths when I was still at the junior school

And every Sunday I'd walk from Crookes to Endcliffe Park with my

Dad and ma three sisters, just to feed the ducks

But we'd always get weighed in this strange old woman's chair weighing machine

Hillsborough is where one of my sisters lived when she married her first husband
