FRED LOWBRIDGE © by Robbie Kennedy Bennett 1991 I studied old Fred has he worked A fellow so gentle and kind, Private and so inoffensive No finer a man can you find. Fred Lowbridge they said was a fighter In days of being a young man I ask myself can I imagine I have to admit that I can. In the bugle I often read stories Of fights in days of old, Fred fought in a league of true sportsman Boxers so brave and so bold. Prize money was coppers and shillings Recovery time was short, No sooner the bout was over Another opponent was sought. Fred’s hands looked like they’d fought many His face must have sometimes been hurt, Fred Lowbridge a man I admired He quietly got on with his work. Printed in the BLACK COUNTRY BUGLE July 1996.
