WALK ON A SUNDAY MORNING
(J. Wilson)

This ain’t no "Kingston 12" but we had our problems still,
oh, on that I can be sure
No ‘Gorbals Razor King’ and no gunman like ‘Rhyging’,
but we had our share of thieves and whores
But when I look back I would not change a thing
‘Cause we learned to laugh and then we learned to sing

Take a walk on a Sunday morning, on the streets that you call your home
‘Round the north fork of St. Regis, before the factories came
Take a walk on a Sunday morning, and your glad just to be alive

No care had I when I was in my daddy’s arms, no care had I at all
A smile on every child from Stilecroft to Derrydown,
when we closed our books in June
Or at twenty-four below, and you’d shout out ‘next goal wins’ –
shinny by the light of the moon
