Horizon Ridge Memories of Yester and Yore

he sang as he went.

"th' fierst thing ai rememb'r know-ing,

vas ae lone-some whistle blow-ing,

aend ae young-un's dream of growin up tchu riiide~

oen ae freight thcrain leav-ing taun,

nat know-ing vhere aem baund,

no-one could change mai mind

bat мама tchriiied~

van aend lonely reb'l child,

fram ae femly meek aend mild,

mai мама seemed tchu know vhat lay in stooore~"
