if he thought that you didn't care about

the freedom that he fought for,
the friends that he lost in war
and if it "ain't the same as the good old days"
then who the hell are you to say.

He was a runaway but he had no choice,
because he wouldn't hang around for the death of his boy
so he stole him out to London Town
where that boy learnt a thing or two about

the friends that he lost in war
and if it "ain't the same as the good old days"

The freedom that he fought for,
the friends that he lost in war
and if it "ain't the same as the good old days"
tell me, who the hell are you to say.
