I've been asked to post up the song lyrics - happy to oblige! Queen of Hessle Road This is the story of Lilly Bilocca For fisher-men she did a hell of a lot, and She fought for safety on all ships Especially the ones that caught fish to eat with your chips She bravely led the Hull Headscarf Brigade To bring fully manned radios to the fishermans aid The trawlermen they got so annoyed When all they wanted was to be employed Lilly, Lilly Billoca She’s the Queen of Hessle Road Lilly, Lilly Billoca She’s the Queen of Hessle Road Now she looks down from her mural above Headscarf flapping like the wings of a dove The ships that she fought for have now all gone But the legend of Lilly will always live on Chorus So,let’s pay homage to the battle she won She was a wonderful lady when all’s said and done For the city of Culture let’s make Hull proud And sing out her praises long and loud Chorus Freedom of the City for Lilly and co. Posthumously awarded and rightly so Fully deserved after all these years Family and friends will shed many tears. Chorus Queen of Hessle Road Words written by Terry Fee
