Born in Ashington
and raised a Red
Spent his whole life
at Man United
A thoroughbred
with speed and skill
and thunder boots
Who scored at will
He made his debut
In Fifty six
Scoring twice
Between the sticks
He won the league
Europe was next
But the sweet FA
tried to object
At the JNA Stadium
Red Star Belgrade
Quarter final opponents
We’re completely outplayed
Then Munich came
We lost our team
On that runway
The end of our dream
Jimmy worked hard
To come up with a plan
For the semi final
Against AC Milan
For three months EUFA
postponed the match
So Jimmy could rebuild
A team from scratch
But Bobby was missing
when it was time to play
He was called up
In that month of May
To play for England
In a friendly game
Against Yugoslavia
The ground was the same
In the JNA stadium
Back in Belgrade
Which was the last game
Where the Busby Babes played
But all Bobby saw
Was a room full of ghosts
Of the late Busby Babes
Whom he cherished the most
Just imagine that moment
One can only assume
An unbearable feeling
Too much to consume
But Bobby rose
above all that
With the help of Jimmy
And recovering Matt
His lifetime achievements
Are second to none
He won everything
There was to be won
In October last year
He left us for heaven
To complete the first line up
Of the Babes eleven
Big Dunc was waiting
With a Big grin
and said you ain’t
Come here for nuffin
They’re all at peace now
In heaven above
Thanks for the memories
From us all with love
