Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document When I fell over the horseshoe That was nearly as big as me Sandy asked to borrow it ‘Just for luck you see’ With the horseshoe around his neck In Lancaster turret so lone If the call had come to ‘parachute’ He’d have dropped like The proverbial stone It wasn’t thanks to the skill of the pilot Nor thanks to the rest of the crew The reason that safely they finished their tour Was thanks to that dirty horseshoe! F for Freddy are being grounded Now they’ve finished their tour F for Freddy have just expounded How they accomplished this lucky score ‘We’ve made our shirts and socks last For these twenty weeks past If we’d changed them, for certain We’d have gone for a Burton’ F for Freddy are viewed with suspicion By fastidious Corporal Wilf ‘Call that superstition I would call it filth’!!
