Thread Name: Lyr Req: Joe Peel (Peter Bond)
Subject: Lyrics and Information: Joe Peel
Looking for lyrics and information (writer, known recordings and background) regarding a song called "Joe Peel". Words possibly include:

"Workington way when lads left school...... For Joe could tackle hard and Joe could run. He only needed time for growing. And then he'd sign his name to play, and to the city moved away."

Why did Joe have to leave football and go down the pit?
