🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: The Flowers Of Manchester - The Spinners

  cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany,
 Eight great football  conceded victory,
 Eight men who will never play again who met  there,
 The flowers of  football, the flowers of Manchester
 
 Matt Busby's  were flying, returning from Belgrade,
 This great United family, all masters  their trade,
  Pilot of the aircraft, the skipper Captain Thain,
 Three times they tried to take off  twice turned back again.
 
 The third time down the runaway disaster followed 
 There  a slush upon that runaway and the aircraft never rose,
 It ploughed into the marshy ground, it broke,  overturned.
 And eight of the team were killed  the blazing wreckage burned.
 
 Roger Byrne and Tommy  who were capped for England's side.
 And  Billy Whelan and England's Geoff Bent died,
 Mark Jones and Eddie Colman, and David  also,
 They all lost their lives as it ploughed on through the 
 
 Big Duncan  went to, with an injury to his frame,
 And Ireland's brave  Blanchflower will never play again,
 The great Sir Matt Busby  there, the father of his team
 Three long months passed by  he walked again.
 
 The trainer, coach and secretary, and a  of the crew,
 Also eight sporting  who with United flew,
 and one of them Big Swifty,  we'll never forget,
 the finest English 'keeper that ever graced  net.
 
 Oh, England's finest football  its record truly great,
  proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate.
  men will never play again, who met destruction there,
 the flowers of English football, the  of Manchester.
