The Man From The Fields Of The Silver Backed Crow

Of the up and down times of life he is one who does know
The man from the fields of the silver backed crow
Though since he has been a migrant for more than fifty years
For his long gone youth he does not have any tears

A grandfather ten times divorced from his wife
He is one who does know of the vagaries of life
But Jimmy feels happy as the word can be
Of mind destroying worries he is totally free

A supporter and paid up member of the local football club
One liked by everyone in the local pub
On Saturday evening on the two hours of song
He is happy to join in the pub sing along

In his mid seventies his hair silver gray
About him Jimmy has an amiable way
For his years he is one who does look fit and well
Though time like it does on all on him too will eventually tell

In word or in deed one who never puts anyone down
A popular man on his side of the town
Though of the up and down times of life he is one who does know
The man from the fields of the silver backed crow.
