Thread Name: Lyr Req: Punch and Judy Man
Subject: Lyr Add: PUNCH AND JUDY MAN (John Conolly)
Here you are - I play it in E (capo on 4 C Am F G)

Mr Punch and Judy Man

Down the lane of foggy chimneys
Through the little seaside town
Strides the east wind like a dragon
Strewing leaves of ragged brown
Winter spreads its icicles
Along the barren shore
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever

Chorus: Mr Punch and Judy Man, bring me back the childhood land
Of summer

In the meadow by the river
Where the elm and willow stand
Silver mist comes creeping down
To lullaby the sleeping land
Through the bare and blackened branches
Swallows fly no more
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever

Slot machines and penny arcades
Jingle jangle on the pier
Gone the sound of laughing children
Fading with each dying year
Through the misty town I wander
In the autumn haze
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever

Puncinello, Puncinello,
Where have you and Judy gone
Gone to join the swelling ranks
Of things we all look back upon
Memories will come to you
In dreams of summer days
And the Punch and Judy man is gone forever
