Ballad of Joe Brown by Tom Patey
Many tales are told of climbers bold Who perished in the snow But this is the song of the rise to fame Of a working lad named Joe
He came from good old Manchester That quaint, old-fashioned town But his name became a legend The legend of Joe Brown
He first laid hand upon a crag In the year of '49 He'd nowt but pluck, beginner's luck And his mother's washing line
