Annie Walsh was murdered at the age of fifty one
She was a Manchester factory worker.
Jack Butler arrested Margaret Brown's son
He claimed he was the perpetrator
His name was Bobby, he was just nineteen
He was jailed, October seventy seven
Justice Milmo, said he didn't believe
And told the jury it's a simple decision
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
They're sharing the proceeds of crime
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
And everyone is involved
Believe the detectives or believe Bobby Brown
That would be the jury's decision
Everyone discussed it, all over town
And it was a short deliberation
They convicted Bobby while his mother cried
He got life in Kirkham prison
Based on all Jack Butler's lies
And the jury's quick decision
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
They're sharing the proceeds of crime
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
And everyone is involved
Bobby was vindicated 2002
Thanks to solicitor, Robert Lizar
He never forgot the cry for truth
In the eyes of Bobby's mother
Now Annie Walsh's killer is still hiding
And it don't look likely he'll be found
But eventually the lord will find him
And he'll burn in hells fire for what he's done
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
They're sharing the proceeds of crime
There's corruption down at the Platt Lane Station
And everyone is involved
