Does anyone remember Pete Royle from the Manchester area (used to run a folk club at Newton Heath Cricket club yonks ago) and he used to sing a song called 'Rubens'? Does anyone (maybe even Pete if you're reading this) know the lyrics. A mate of mine (the great Len of Newhey) knows the tune but he don't have the words. |

I never got to know the man and I didn`t even know his name. So I gave him the name of Ruben, Gave him the name of Ruben. Ruben seemed a gentle name for a man with a gentle hand...' |
