Derreck Lee was a Cornishman
who lived in Stozzle Town,
he pastied away eventually
but they couldn’t pin him down.
.
They buried him in Truro,
parts of him in Roche;
where now he is a monument
that no one dares approach.
.
Derreck was a hero,
a maverick and a fool;
he declared himself the unknown king
of Par, and Pelynt, and Pool.
.
Derreck Lee was a Cornishmen
and one he’ll always be;
but he was not a king or anything
to do with royalty.
