Lyrics
From the Crystal Palace to the Rising Sun is where I played when I was young
And the old folks used to say that they could remember when
It was all fields and it was shiny bright and no-one locked their doors at night
and rising damp hadn't been invented then
I've seen the Rockies and Manhattan
I've been to Istanbul and seen Big Ben
I've been around the world and back again
But nothing beats a Sunset Over Penge
On Saturday mornings we'd all go down
to the local picture house
and watch Captain Marvel fighting Fu Man Chu
But now Champion the wonder horse a has been replaced
by a brand new bingo hall
Nest prize is a chicken any line will do
I will never know why I have a wandering soul
Or the Cowboy in me keeps me moving on
Rpt Chorus
No matter where I roam I will always call Penge home
But the Cowboy in me keeps me moving on
Rpt Chorus
Rpt outro Sunset Over Penge
