lyrics

At 4:15 before afternoon tea
Bobby came in from the rain
Shook off the cold and hung up his coat
It's wet out there today boys
He sat on his stool while we all played pool
Patiently waits for his ale
Reads the Sun but only for fun
Buys it only for the cross words singing

Those were the days those were the days
Singing songs with the rugby on those were the days
Those were the days those were the days
With an open fire and a pint of cider those were the days boys

Listening to the old men's tales
Of rugby coal and beer
They lived their lives underground
Worked hard with no fear
Back at the inn a crowd rushes in
Teary-eyed with black ties
Telling tales with their pints all raised
Another boyo has died singing

Those were the days those were the days
Singing songs with the rugby on those were the days
Those were the days those were the days
With an open fire and a pint of cider those were the days boys

Remembering when we took a flight
Spent a weekend at Murrayfield
Sixteen strong all singing songs
Let loose on the city
Clive and Dai were covered in wine
Upset a Scotsman's wife
All the Scots began to turn
So we all ran for our lives singing

Those were the days those were the days
Singing songs with the rugby on those were the days
Those were the days those were the days
With an open fire and a pint of cider those were the days boys

Chris John Howe Maesteg, UK

Welcome to my page! Here you will see my musical journey, all catalogued. I was born and raised in South Wales, UK. I started writing my own songs in May ’20, a little later than normal! Although I have plenty to say and past experiences to put into music. I hope my music finds you well and I wish you all good health and happiness. Thanks, Chris ... more
