Lyrics of
The Man Who Would Never Leave Grimsby

I was told about a man who would never leave Grimsby
And that may sound strange
But his heart was in that town with his friends and his family
But to make him leave
Would be pain indeed
verse 2
Now he could have toured the world, he was highly respected
But to make him go
Would be ripping out his heart and leaving him restless
So to see him play
?Cause he has a little love, but he gives a lot of love
It doesn?t matter where he is
If you?ve got a little love and you give a lot of love
It doesn?t matter where you are, it?s up to you
You could be in Grimsby too
verse 3
Got a letter from a boy from a village in Kenya
He was such a fan
So smitten by the band, they called him the Strawbs Boy
And that made him proud
He would play us loud
verse 4
In the letter Lucky wrote that he?d been to Nairobi
Which I found quite sad
Because he said he looked around, but he couldn?t see me
With a faith like that
How I wish he had
Lucky had a little love and he gave a lot of love
Didn?t matter where he was
If you?ve got a little love and you give a lot of love
It doesn?t matter where you are, it?s up to you
You could be in Grimsby too
verse 4
If you ever meet the man who would never leave Grimsby
Try to make him see
That the home is in the heart and you carry it with you
You may never leave
And your spirit?s free
If you've got little love and you give a lot of love
Doesn?t matter where you are
So, take a little love and you give a lot of love
It doesn?t matter where you are, it?s up to you
You could be in Grimsby too
