Flint eyed nanny with her old white face

One old hand in her pocket keeping warm,

One tear dripping but the other staying proud.

Listen to the stories that the old and worn gang tell

They're the stories that we must keep passing on.

Keep on searching 'til you cannot search no more,
Bbsus2 C F
And then she turns her back on me.
