Midweek Music Lyrics by Suffolk songster

I'm just mad about saffron

A-saffron's mad about me

I'm-a just mad about saffron

She's just mad about me

They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow (Quite rightly)

They call me mellow yellow

I'm just mad about fourteen

Fourteen's mad about me

I'm-a just mad about-a fourteen

A-she's just mad about me…

Mellow Yellow by Donovan, who lived in Shotley for a while after marrying a local girl. The song's words could have been inspired by what he saw in nearby fields.
