But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever

Please bring back my childhood land of summer

In the meadow by the river
A# F
Where the oak and willow stand

Silver mist come creeping down

and lullaby our sleeping land

Through the bare and brackened branches

Swallows fly no more

But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever

Slot machines and penny arcades

Jingle jangle on the pier,

Through the little town he wanders

In the misty morning haze,

But the Punch and Judy Man is gone for ever

those dreams of yesterday,
