Remembrance Day lyrics

On your maypole green

See the winding morrismen

Angry Alfie, Bill and Ken

Waving hankies, sticks and books

All the earthen roofs.

Standing at the crease,

The batsman takes a look around.

The boys are fielding on homeground,

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.

Let's sup 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.
