Now I was born in Comer Tow thirty years ago
It were a real poky town I think you oughta know
They took me on the promenade, took me on the sand
The first words they say to me when I fell outta the pram

Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid

Now Granny Polly stooty blues sand for on the shore
Granny Polly stooty blues I never see no more
Just before she passed away, just before she died
She said to me family, when your in the tide

Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid
There's lots of people now never be dead
If they'd only had the sense to moind der' hid
If you never heard me say, I tell you all today
Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid

Now when I was a tarty boy, when I was still at school
Dobby was the clever one, I was just a fool
Teacher used to very often, hurl the books at me
And all the boys behind me used to holler merrily

Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid
There's lots of people now never be dead
If they'd only had the sense to moind der' hid
If you never heard me say, I tell you all today
Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid

Now Dobby was a friend of mine we always used to be
Together on the Cromer line in 1943
He was nei' the window just to see the train go by
He would'nt have been alive today if he hadn't heard me cry

Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid
There's lots of people now never be dead
If they'd only had the sense to moind der' hid
If you never heard me say, I tell you all today
Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid

Now Cromer girl they all alive down along the Prom
If you'd like to tackle one you can come along
But should you ever take a girl to be you're wedded wife
You'll be eating nag pie all the rest of your life

Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid
There's lots of people now never be wed
If they'd only had the sense to moind der' hid
If you never heard me say, I tell you all today
Moind yer hid boy, moind ya hid.
