                             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
