Honey, It Won't Come Off: Take a 275 Year Ride with Blockley

I'll tell you the story of Blockley.
You'll get to know
How she began as an Almshouse.
And then you will watch her grow.
See how it got started in "Philly"
She faced a number of wars.
Diseases and indigent workers
Passed through her welcoming doors.
You will meet people who loved her
Benjamin Franklin was involved.
You will live the lives with the nurses
Who walked those long gray halls.
Words from patients and workers
Will thrill your heart
Until sadly you learn that
Blockley has fallen apart.
Her death leaves many a heartache
No one can ever heal
But our love leaves joyful memories
No one can ever steal.
