The chorus goes; Oh, What in the world is this world coming to? You cannot trust others like you used to do, They lie, rob and cheat you, and put you to shame, They've no morals at all, and they won't play the game. one verse includes the lines, 'It was all me own stuff, I'd been dipped, turn about' |

The contact page from his website is Here and has a phone-number (though it evidently hasn't been updated for some while and you'll have to insert a "1" in it). He's an approachable guy and I'm sure won't mind you contacting him. |
