Around the mid 60’s in Horspath Road Was where we lived then - our humble abode The factory dominated everything around Except ABC minors at the regal - for under a pound
Home time - the invasion of the Cowley workers All worked hard - though, there were some shirkers 😉 Never forgot when they were coming home That sea of faces - that gear-less drone
Watching the time until they ‘clocked’ Horspath road Completely blocked Hollow way Cowley road Fernhill too You stayed indoors you just couldn’t move
Excitedly with my sisters sat on a wall Waiting for our Grampy - Harry Aspinall Sat on the wall legs dangling over BL car factory which became Austin Rover
Brothers and sisters and Bobby Fryer No wonder that had to find a buyer😂 Unsettled on strike without any money 💰 Of course some loved it - even thought it funny
They grafted hard - the salt of the earth We all appreciated them and valued their worth So much has changed here before our eyes Some still live here - others said their goodbyes
I would quickly mention Oxford United But then again not - would get Just toooo excited 😆 But if you were brought up here right from the start Oxford will always have a special place in your heart
