Lyrics for Part I by Fairport Convention:
| | | Artist: | Fairport Convention |
| | Album: | Babbacombe Lee | | Track: | Part I | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 265 | | | | Lyrics: | Little did I think when the judge first spoke
Those awful words to me
That I would feel
again the cold winds blow
And a heart would beat in 'Babbacombe' Lee
I was born to
lead a life of sorrow
I've friends hang their heads in shame
Growing tired and weary
of the morrow
Tortured by my terrible name
When I was fifteen, my father called to
me
Saying "Now you are a man and all men work
There's a lady and they say her name's Miss
Keyes
Her pony's very old, it needs a nurse"
For eighteen months I worked for her at
?Hadley Glen?
She was like a mother to me
But time goes slowly when you're thinking
wishfully
Of all the other places to be
There were boats drifting in the
harbour
There were sailors talking in the town
That's the life for a boy who wants to
wander
For a man who doesn't want to settle down | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
