Clungunford and Clun | B |
Are the quietest places | C |
Under the sun | B |

In valleys of springs and rivers | D |
By Ony and Teme and Clun | B |
The country for easy livers | D |
The quietest under the sun | B |

We still had sorrows to lighten | B |
One could not be always glad | E |
And lads knew trouble at Knighton | B |
When I was a Knighton lad | E |

By bridges that Thames runs under | A |
In London the town built ill | F |
'Tis sure small matter for wonder | A |
If sorrow is with one still | F |

And if as a lad grows older | A |
The troubles he bears are more | A |
He carries his griefs on a shoulder | A |
That handselled them long before | A |
- | |
Where shall one halt to deliver | A |
This luggage I'd lief set down | B |
Not Thames not Teme is the river | A |
Nor London nor Knighton the town | B |

'Tis a long way further than Knighton | B |
A quieter place than Clun | B |
Where doomsday may thunder and lighten | B |
And little 'twill matter to one | B |
