There's lots of new people on the St Ann's site
There's lots of new people on the St Ann's site
Telling their stories from morning till night
So many memories, of all the good times
Of outings and places, and old friends that we find
We went to school, parks, swimming baths
We walked to and from Town
There was shop after shop (not one saying pound)
You name it, we could buy it, If we had the money
We shared a halfpenny chew, only now it seems funny
Up and Down streets where different friends played
Entries, Terraces and Yard escapades.
You don't have to be rich, to have a good time
Laughing came easy, on your street or mine
We'd daydream about money and doing a job
What we'd buy mam, when we'd earned a few bob
Years quickly went by, I had hundreds of plans
I made them when I lived in St Ann's
I always tried to do my best
Even retirement don't let me rest
St Ann's Well Road pre demolition (1970) site
I look forward to new memories
When I'm browsing tonight
Wonderful memories make you laugh and cry
With happiness of those days gone by
We can relive some of them
On the 1st of July........memories are made of this
