Jabba73
Hall of Famer
I have done the prison shift
Bowed down by iron chains
I fought the law, endured the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a shit-stirrer, a reformed lowlife
A Bomber in the gun
A convict, then a free man
I became Baghdadian
We are one, but we are many
And from all the teams in Sweet we come
We'll share a dream and win with one vice
"I am, you are, we are Baghdadian"
I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the sand of a trillion grains
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drought and missing rains
I am the locked up, and don't know why
The rivers that no longer run
The lifeblood of this SFA
I am Baghdadian
I'm a teller of stories
A player of many songs
I am the wooden spoon holder
Burned deep by desert suns
I'm not looking for awards
I'm just here to have some fun
Be guilty by association
Come join us Baghdadians
We are one, but we are many
And from all the teams in Sweet we come
We'll share a dream and win with one vice
"I am, you are, we are Baghdadian"
"I am, you are, we are Baghdadian"
With thanks and apologies to The Seekers.
