And During My Child hood I Was Going On The Beach,
Getting A Load Of Fire Wood For Logs.
On A Hot Summers Day.
And The Work men Are working On the Sea Defences.
They Tell Me I Can Have All The Loads Of Wood.
For The Fire And I Go Home Get The Fisher Mens Cart.
Out From The Shed And Down On Beach And Loading
