Summary:
Come to Barlow Song
This was recorded at a reminiscence group in 1988-9, and was probably sung at the annual Silverdale Camp (running from the 1960s to 1980s).
Stan Byers, a former resident, singing (To the tune of ‘Build a Bonfire’)
Come to Barlow
Come to Barlow
We will find it very nice
If it wasn’t for the nurses
We would live in paradise.
Build a bonfire
Build a bonfire
Put the nurses on the top
Put the charge hands in the middle
And we’ll burn the bloomin’ lot!
