Archie Fisher
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
