Dublin City Ramblers – The Punch And Judy Man Chords

Down the lanes of foggy chimneys
Through the little seaside town
Strives the east wind like a dragon
Strewing leaves all ragged brown.
Winter planting icicles
Along the foreign shore
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever.

Mr Punch and Judy man,
please bring back my childhood land of summer.

In the meadow by the river
where the oak and willow stand
Silver mists come creeping down
To lullaby our sleeping land.
Through the bare and blackened branches
Swallows fly all morn
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever.

Mr Punch and Judy man,
please bring back my childhood land of summer.

Slot machines and penny arcades
Jingle jangle on the pier,
Gone the sound of children laughing,
Fading with each dying year.
Through the town he wanders
In the misty morning haze,
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever.

Mr Punch and Judy man,
please bring back my childhood land of summer.

Punchanello, Punchanello
Where have you and Judy gone?
Gone to join the swelling ranks
Of things that they look back upon
Memories can conjure up
Those dreams of yesterday,
But the Punch and Judy man is gone forever.

Mr Punch and Judy man,
please bring back my childhood land of summer.
Mr Punch and Judy man,
