Here I am amongst you (Trad) Source Len Graham and Joe Holmes

Well here I am amongst you and I'm here because I'm here
And I'm only twelve months older than I was this time last year

I ah, with ma toor I ah, with me toor I oor I ay
Rye the dum diddily oor I ah diddily oor I oor I ay.

Never throw a rope at a drowning man if you're near to a grocery store
Throw him a cake of sunlight soap let him wash himself ashore

Oh the more a man has the more a man wants but the same I don't think true
For I never met a man with one black eye who wished that he had two

And it's early to bed and it's early to rise but the same I don't think true
For how in the hell can a man go to bed when he's got none to go to
