Archie Fisher: The Shipyard Apprentice… Yonder Banks-, Spiers & Boden: https://spiersboden.bandcamp.com/track/yonder-banks
We lived over yonder banks Where those tall cranes touch the sky Down beside the dockyard wall Where those terraced houses lie And I think we lived at number four Or was it number six? It was such a long, long time ago I can’t remember which Chorus: We lived over yonder banks Over there We played tag on yonder tip When the watchman was away Up and down we used to run A hundred times a day When the shipyard’s sirens blew We’d chase each other home But that was quite some time ago Some thirty years or so Well I’m at the station now Waiting for the evening train Wondering if by some small chance I might pass this way again Though I left the town where I was born Deep inside I know A little will remain with me No matter where I go
