Albert Wells
(By Lynda)
Albert Well's was a travelling man
He roamed the roads of this land
Shrivenham, Highworth or maybe Witney
Albert and his horse was a sight to see
In time he married a girl called Rose
It was'nt long before her belly started to grow
She gave him seven children
One daughter and six sons
They still travelled the roads around farringdon
When harvest came, off he would go
Picking the hops or sugarbeet hoe
With money in his pocket and family complete
Albert was the sort of man you would like to meet
The children grew up healthy and strong
Albert taught them all right from wrong
Time had come to stop travelling around
So he bought a little piece of ground
But this was'nt what fate had in store
And the family were waiting at the hospital door
Life had ended ,his family left
Albert Wells was one of the best
