Thanks to Malcolm's hint, I've managed to find the lyrics at this site

SALFORD TOWN
(Traditional)

I've never been out of Salford Town the place where I was born
Except when I was in the ranks and wore a uniform
But I'd sooner never travel if the only way to see the world
Is trough the battle sites of a mark for three o three

I've got a little baby he's the apple of my eye
When I think about his future my thoughts take wing and fly
What kind of future can there be
With plains and tanks and guns
And flying high and dropping bombs on other people's sons

I'd like to see the whole wide world
The north, south, east and west
I'd like to travel everywhere with the girl that I love best
That I'll stay beside the jewel all my life before I'll stand
In some other country with a bayonet in my hand

I work each day upon the docks and I watch the ships come in
And no one asks to see the colour of a sailor's skin
Side by side they're working men from Norway, China and Greece
Why can't the state's man do the same and let us live in peace
Will let us live in peace ^^
