Maj7
And how he used to thrill the crowd
The ready eye with bat and ball
Maj7
The village fighter, heavy browed
The Englishman who had it all
Maj7
A mighty shoulder to the wheel
Maj7
To join in battle with the best
Maj7
The iron arm, the will of steel
And heart of oak to mourn the rest

Maj7
A power harnessed to the game
Once yoked and tempered fades away
Maj7
The willing arm, the steady aim
The youth and fire that won the day
Maj7
As twilight shadows dim the field
Maj7
The ageing fighter stands bereft
Maj7
With just the will to never yield
And heart of oak to mourn what's left
