about

An anthem for my ancestral homelands in particular some villages and hamlets in North Yorkshire.

lyrics

This is the village your grandad was raised
these are the lanes, on which he did play
these are the words, the words he would sing,
lets sing them together so they don't die with him

Chorus
Hills valleys and moors,
Yorkshire's in my heart
and I hope I'm in yours
Woods, wolds and wykes,
at the centre of my heart
grows a rose that is white.

This is poem your great Grandad wrote,
he couldn't spell, but he meant what was spoken
of the Daffies that bloom at Easter each spring
these are the words, lets sing them with him

chorus

This is the town your Granny was raised
and this is the organ that her daddy played
this is the field where your ancestors lay
you bear their names, You bear their name

Chorus

well in one hundred years, they'll not sing of old tom
Yorkshire's a place, the place he was from
this is a song, a song he would sing
lets sing it together so it wont die with him

chorus.
