The Death of a Lancashire Lad

I bet he's up there, his nag astride, Ferret in sack, terrier by side. I bet he's up there charming a lass, Ciggy in gob and mild in glass. I bet he's up there seeing united win, Hollering and swearing " get it in". I bet he's up there happy at last, No pain no shame no regrets of the past. I bet he's up there smirking at us, Ye silly buggers whats all this fuss.
