Leaving Halvis Grove
Crossed the river Mersey
On the M56 road
Waved goodbye to Altrincham
So long Ryebank road
Onwards I go to Wilmslow
Following where the river flows
Down past Hoo Green
Lifted my leg in Peover
At Knutsford I burst a tyre
Repaired it at Congleton
Where I danced the conga with a charleton
And at Newchapel sang in a choir
Said all I had to say in Talke Talke pits
Ended up on the Keele road
Near the world of Wedgwood
It was a long way from there
But I finally made it home
Getting stuck in traffic queues beside the Avon
Leaving Halvis Grove
The house of warmth and love
Where a woman knows
And a man ungrows
In the garden
All they've been thinking of
Leaving Halvis Grove
It's another home from home
Where I can find my daily bread
Like in Hovis Loaves
Like in oaken groves
Down cattle droves
Where rows and rows
Of the apple tree grows
And bulls and bullocks frolicked in meadows
Long, long ago
Across the river Mersey
