India's the furthest away I've been from Tevershall, that's where I was born.

Went to India with the Army, ran away to join it if truth be said, all I had at home was a job as a blacksmith and a wife who made me life a living hell. I liked it in the Army, got to be a commissioned lieutenant which was not bad for a miner's son, but then I got pneumonia and got sent home.

I wasn't really happy to be back here at first, but now there's nowhere else I would choose to be.
