• Derby Day

(He’s going up there now
I think they’re all in
They’re off)

I tugged my father’s coat sleeve, I said I cannot see the track,
So he picked me up and swung me round and hung me from his back.
Settle down, son; settle down, they’re starting any minute now,
When you see them coming round the bend you can wave and scream and shout.
And there’s always trouble makers here but I’ll keep you safe and sound,
There’s no harm can befall you here two yards from off the ground.

What a fine and sunny day it was the best I’d ever seen,
And what a view I had up there of beggars, kings, and queens.
And how I felt so tall and grand, and how I held on tight,
Those horses thundering round the bend flashed purple, green, and white.

Or was it something new that grew and burst on to the track,
I felt my father’s shoulders flinch he threw me from his back.

I thought I heard somebody cry,
Let me live, or let me die.
I thought I heard somebody say,
I shall be free on derby day.
I shall be free on derby day.

They said that she was coming round, they said she’d be all right,
Lord, won’t you bless all of those that had to look on such a sight.
Lord, won’t you bless my ears; lord, won’t you bless my eyes,
Lord, won’t you bless all of those that had to look on such a sight.
Dressed in white like a faded bride, nine medals on her chest,
Blazing there like battle wounds pinned there onto her dress.

I thought I heard somebody cry,
Let me live, or let me die.
I thought I heard somebody say,
I shall be free on derby day.
I shall be free on derby day.
