lyrics

FIGHTING THE BATTLE FOR STOURBRIDGE

your mother was born on a boat in a lock
Your father hauled coal coal from the pit to the dock
Your family were cursed as they travelled around
They never knew comfort no feet on the ground
But time can pass quickly and history moves on 
What once was the future tomorrow’s become
Fighting for freedom like father like son
Fighting the battle for Stourbridge


The cut it was heavy with rubbish and weed
In  London decisions are built upon greed 
But we all saw the future we all saw the need 
and took to the water like boatmen
making the journey was tough at the time 
but we are glad that we did and we held to the line
For there's more to this life than just money you find
Fighting the battle for Stourbridge

Now boats they can travel from the sea to the shore 
London to Stourbridge to dudley and more 
Onwards to Manchester , Leeds and beyond
Down to the North sea at Boston
Seems a long time ago in sixty two
Fighting for the freedom of boats to pass through 
But there’s lessons to learn from the deeds of the few
Fighting the battle for Stourbridge
