Tribute to Collie Smith
Great big event in history
That will live, in old memory
Great big event in history
Old friend that died, tragically
He was known as the mighty mose
???
I know his name will always be called
Cause he's the king of the bat and ball
Collie smith, collie smith
The wielder of the wicket
Let us sing again
Collie smith, collie smith
The man of the three wickets
I can remember ?
Jamaican the first to ?
But in the second ?
He batted to everyone of them
His first big tour to great britain
?
But then they thought they had him fixed
But then he jumped down and hit them for six
Collie smith, collie smith
The wielder of the cricket bat
Let us sing again
Collie smith, collie smith
The man of the three wickets
? they regret
To know that their friend slipped away in bed
They got an award share his pain
? to hear again
But this I will say friends come with me
My heart goes out with great sympathy
?
?
Collie smith, collie smith
The wielder of the cricket bat
Let us sing again
Collie smith, collie smith
The man of the two wickets
We our not crying for that northern soul
For cricket is played on a pitch of gold
We have rose and heaven ground
He'll still be hitting sixes up and down
The life of great man I'll remind
Yes he make life so sublime
? leave behind
Friends when the sun go down
Collie smith, collie smith
The wielder of the cricket bat
Let us sing again
Collie smith, collie smith
The man of the two wickets
