Doble's Wall, St Ives
Now aged, bent and grey,
Who did the same in days of yore
As youngsters do today.
Idly sitting in the sunshine,
Lads together - big and small,
Such as always been the case
On Doble's Wall.
Chorus
Doble's Wall, Doble's Wall,
There's no place in all the world
Like Doble's Wall.
There are those
In foreign lands today
Who once were with us here;
Who wander back in memory
To scenes they hold so dear;
But some day we hope to meet them,
Meet together one and all,
As we did in days gone by
On Doble's Wall
Chorus
There are those
Who once were in our midst,
Who'll ne'er again repeat
The summer songs we used to sing
In harmony so sweet;
But their names we often mention
As the twilight shadows fall,
And we gather as of old
On Doble's Wall.
Chorus
Myself with Jan & Bob Mackey from California on Doble's Wall. May 2004
Jan's descended from the Nankervis, Noall, Jenkyn & King families of St Ives.
