Ye Olde Jolly Sailor

This is the oldest building in Teignmouth... In July 1690 an
invasion of around 1000 strong raiding party of French
sailors pillaged all they could... then burnt the town down
to the ground... destroying all in their path... Even all the
ships & boats in Teignmouth harbour... This pub was all
the survived...

ONE DAY YOUR HERE
AND THEN YOUR GONE
NEVER ONE PLACE DO
YOU STAY LONG

YOU FLUTTER HERE
YOU FLUTTER THERE
JUST LIKE A BIRD
UP IN THE AIR

YOU MOVE AROUND
WITH SIMPLE EASE
LIKE FLOWERS IN
A GENTLE BREEZE

JUST LIKE A BROOKE
AS IT DOES FLOW
YOU SAY HELLO
AND THEN YOU GO
