The Final act of a Pan man
Playing a last tune on his pan
Caressing his pan
With tender loving hand
Ringing out pan melody
His heart heavy
With melancholy
Playing his heart out
For his mother funeral
Knowing well
That this was his farewell
The last time his hand
Will caress this guitar pan
Just before taking time
Out from the pan
Saying goodbye to his
Guitar pan that he love
To follow his mother
The one that he love even more
Than any other
Caressing his pan
For the very last time
With tender loving hand
Telling his pan softly goodbye
To join his loving mother
In the sky
Goodbye to our Pan Man
Goodbye to our Music Man
Goodbye to a cultural Icon
Goodbye to Neville Chester York
