East End Roots by Barmy Park from Southampton United Kingdom

east end roots – barmy park

changing landscape on the streets today
but love for this place
will never fade away
tears of sadness tears of joy
as he looks back when just a boy
don’t take away the memories that we have
not today

(chorus) he’s a real dead ringer with east end roots
a national treasure in a whistle and flute
the father he loved he walks in his boots
he’s a real dead ringer with east end roots

rules the kingdom of the family tree
lives a life of love and dignity
he’ll pick you up as time goes by
in a sky blue shirt and rainbow tie
don’t take away the passion in his veins
not today
(chorus)

got no money cos he gives it away
blessed with riches in every other way
when liberty comes under attack
he’ll be right there he’s got your back
don’t take away the power in his hands
not today
(chorus)
end (j.worrow)
