You can hear the tune with different lyrics here. The website author is standing on the left playing the bass.
The word carer is not limited to those who do all the practical caring. Their carees are not devoid of caring. Those with dementia may not be able to express their returned care but it is there in many cases.
This song is appropriate for use at the Ross-on-Wye Dementia Meeting Centre here.
