37 Leather On Willow Etc lyrics

At Farnley Park cricket ground there`s a Sycamore tree
And it stands thirty feet inside the boundary
I think that someone slapped a Preservation Order on the tree
So it`s good the players don`t take the game too seriously
Now there are no advertising boards to get in the way
And no computer scoreboard, hip, hip, hooray
Just an old bloke and a stubby pencil end
Who misses a run or two now and again
You see he`s too busy looking at the Sycamore tree
He says, `It`s all part of the game`
And I agree
