Three Ribbons for Winnie
Style: Brass band

[Verse 1]
Rain came down on the old ground
Flag still stood, tied and bound
Three yellow ribbons snapping hard
We came for you, no other reason found

[Pre-chorus]
Something in that flapping cloth
Says the ones who love you never stop
Get the horns up, here it comes

[Chorus]
Winnie, we brought the whole brass band
Loud enough to shake your hand
Cheering hard from every stand
Nobody else could take command

[Verse 2]
Mud on our boots, breath like smoke
Somebody started up a joke
Every single face turned round
Waiting on the words you spoke

[Chorus]
Winnie, we brought the whole brass band
Loud enough to shake your hand
Cheering hard from every stand
Nobody else could take command

[Bridge]
Tie another ribbon on for luck
Blow the trumpets, strike the drum
However many years you've had
There's not been many quite as good

[Chorus]
Winnie, we brought the whole brass band
Loud enough to shake your hand
Cheering hard from every stand
Nobody else could take command

[Outro]
Flag still flying, damp and torn
Glad, so glad, that you were born
