Bobby On The Beat
 
 

Bobby on the beat
He did his job, and did it well,
Upholding law, and being swell.
He rode to town to do what's right,
But he died last night.

Bobby on the beat
Small town copper, he helped us all,
Always a friend, would never fall.
He rode to town to do what's right,
But he died last night.

Bobby on the beat,
Hero to us, he earned our trust
Ever gallant, and always just,
He rode into town to do what's right,
But he died last night.

Bobby on the beat,
He did his job, a local hero,
who sadly now calls ten zero,
He rode into town to do what's right,
But he died last night.


 
 

Dedicated to the memory of Constable Murray Stretch who was killed last night in the line of duty.
