Bathley Street, you were my very first street, oh Bathley
Bathley Street, my very first street
The place I learnt to walk on my own two feet
The big iron gates adorned the library
Whilst noise filled the air from the factory
In the schoolyard where we would play
Mr. Jones the caretaker, he would say
Go and sling your hook or I'll ring your dad
Then we smashed a window and we ran like made
I'm not longing for a place
Just reminiscing about a time
A time I cherish in my mind
Oh Bathley Street, how I love you
Bathley Street, an overcrowded street
Old ladies queuing up for their pound of meat
Big wooden doors to the factory
No noise said the sign in the library
Everyday we'd hear our neighbours shout
And the chimes from Little John would be ringing out
Not the sort of place for a quiet life
But you could count on anybody day or night
I'm not longing for a place
Just reminiscing about a time
A time I cherish in my mind
Filled with people I once knew
Oh Bathley Street, how I love you
Our love, is like the flowers out the back
We grow together at the right time
In the Meadows sunshine
Weathering the storms
Fondly looking back
Me Mama and Grandad took me down to the pub
On the summer nights when I'd been good
Locals slung me change as I sat by the phone
I sung won't you show me the way to go home
Sunday morning we'd all take a stroll
Walking our Misty to the bridge with a toll
Then wed'd head back for me mam's roast beef
Passing by the place I lost my two front teeth
I'm not longing for a place
Just reminiscing about a time
A time I cherish in my mind
Filled with people I once knew
Oh Bathley Street, how I love you
Oh Bathley Street, you were my very street
Oh Bathley Street

I haven't got a penny, in my pocket for you
If I found one I would pick it up, and I would spend it on you
I don't have much my sweetheart and although that may be so
I'll give you everything I've got
Darling please don't go
Every time I see you, it hurts me when I see that guy
I'm holding out hope that one day you'll give me a try
I don't have much my sweetheart and although that may be so
Everything I have is yours
Darling please don't go
And anytime you feel afraid
Anytime he lets you down
Just remember that I'll be there
I may not have no sapphires, no diamonds or riches to hold
But just remember that I'll never, ever see you out in the cold
I don't have much my sweetheart and although that may be so
I'll give you everything I've got
Darling please don't go
Please don't go
Darling please don't go
Please don't go
