Volume 93 — DERBY AND GLADSTONE.
Reading edition
(A Speech summarised in a Stanza.)
Air—“Darby and Joan.” Derby, dear, I am old and grey, Fifty-five years since my opening day, “Ins” and “Outs” are for every one As the world goes round. Derby, dear, I must fain admit I’ve altered my mind, just a little bit. But I learnt freedom’s lesson in Forty-five, And I mean to be true to it whilst I’m alive. Always the same, Derby, my own, Always the same Is your old Gladstone!
