[00:18.00]	One cold and bitter Thursday in Munich, Germany
[00:28.00]	Eight great football players conceded victory,
[00:36.00]	Eight men will never play again who met destruction there,
[00:44.00]	The flowers of English football, the flowers of Manchester
[00:54.00]	Matt Busby’s boys were flying home, returning from Belgrade,
[01:03.00]	This great United family, all masters of their trade,
[01:10.00]	The pilot of the aircraft and the skipper Captain Thain,
[01:19.00]	Three times they tried to take off and twice turned back again.
[01:29.00]	The third time down the runaway disaster followed close,
[01:37.00]	There was slush upon that turn light and the aircraft never rose,
[01:45.00]	It ran upon the marshy ground, it broke, then overturned.
[01:53.00]	And eight of the team were killed when the blazing wreck burned.
[02:02.00]	The trainer, coach and secretary, and a member of the crew,
[02:11.00]	And also sporting journalists who with United flew,
[02:20.00]	And one of them was big Frank Siwft who'll never sure forget
[02:28.00]	The finest english 'keeper to ever grace the net
[02:37.00]	Oh England's finest football team it's record truly great
[02:45.00]	It's proud successes mocked by a cruel turn of fate
[02:53.00]	Eight men will never play again who met destruction there
[03:02.00]	The flowers of English football the flowers of Manchester
