Testo Joseph Baker - North Sea Gas
Testo della canzone Joseph Baker (North Sea Gas), tratta dall'album Lochanside
You sporting men of Chester
I'll have you all to hear
Of a man called Joseph Baker
Who lived near Delamere
He ran faster than the old red fox
Further than the hound
Of all the men who challenged him
No equal could be found
He rose up every morning
Before the day was clear
And through the shady forest
Pursued the royal deer
Raced the wind across the field
The mist right up the hill
And he raced the dust along the road
And he slew him down to the mill
You sporting men of Chester
I'll have you all to hear
Of a man called Joseph Baker
Who lived near Delamere
He ran faster than the old red fox
Further than the hound
Of all the men who challenged him
No equal could be found
Now sportsmen came from far and near
To challenge Baker's speed
In every race, in every way
They swore to do that deed
A soldier came from Butcham
A butcher came from Sale
A sailor came from Birkenhead
A butcher came from Hale
You sporting men of Chester
I'll have you all to hear
Of a man called Joseph Baker
Who lived near Delamere
He ran faster than the old red fox
Further than the hound
Of all the men who challenged him
No equal could be found
He was never beaten until that fateful day
When death at last defeated him
And took his breath away
If you should watch on a winter's night
You'll see him running still
As his ghost runs down from Kelsa Church
Right up to Helsmere Hill
You sporting men of Chester
I'll have you all to hear
Of a man called Joseph Baker
Who lived near Delamere
He ran faster than the old red fox
Further than the hound
Of all the men who challenged him
No equal could be found
You sporting men of Chester
I'll have you all to hear
Of a man called Joseph Baker
Who lived near Delamere
He ran faster than the old red fox
Further than the hound
Of all the men who challenged him
