This is Sams Chop house Lowrys haunt by night
Yes Sams chop house
on back pool fold
off cross street Manchester
established in 1872
a pub and restaurant is on the scene
used to be a haunt of L S Lowry
and in his day
he used to pop in for lunch as a rent collector
have a Wilsons bitter
or a sherry or two
while he doodled on napkins
and contemplated life
talk with his friend at the bar
he sits at the bar now
as a bronze statue to remember him by
of times gone by
so ive painted a picture
of Sams chop house
on a Manchester night
lowry stands outside the pub
looking on
with matchstick men on his mind
so I hope you don’t mind ive painted a picture
A modern take on lowry in my style
Yeah he painted in muted greys
A reflection of his time
But this is my time
Full of colour and bright lights at night
But the people are milling about
waiting for the day
when the pubs will reopen again
with a pint in the pub and some grub
Cos lockdowns not lifted
So we look on
In masks and gloves
Waitin for the day
When pubs and clubs can reopen again
then I’ll have a beer and cheer
Stand at the bronze statue of lowry
Raise me glass And give a nod
to this inspiring Manchester man
Propin up the bar
Contemplating life With no strife
So hers hopin
For better days to come
When lockdowns lifted
And well be gifted
With a pint in the pub and maybe some grub
So heres to L.S Lowry
A man of the past
and boy did he last
