My home town

           

She's big and she's brown

           

She reaches to the sky above

                           

An every where you look she's all around you

My back yard

       

Is dirty and hard

       

It never seen a flower grown

                   

Since I can testify its no garden 

               

One of these days                 

                       

I'm gona pack my bags and take a train to some big city

                 

Where the lights are bright and

I now all the girls are pretty

 

My home folk 

             

Were raised in the smoke

                         

Of firy factory chimney stacks that gave you work

               

But in return they choked you, 

       

choked youuuu

When a wakeup, i wake up in the morning

                         

Work all the day till the sun goes down

                     

Gota save up all the money i am earning

                     

Gota have enough to kiss this town

Borrowing books from the public library

                         

Teaching myself about the world outside

                   

Pictures of sunny places in fife

                     

Be goodbye town, goodbye,

taken a riii iiii iiii iiii iiiide

                         

My mother started crying at the station

                         

Asked me if i wouldn't change my mind

                       

Afraid the city light were going blind me

Bridge

   

                           

The whistle blows and terminates my journey

               

Go reality is right on time

                             

The factory gate closed once again behind meeeeee

Bridge

   

 

One of theses days

I'm gona pack my bags and take a train to some big city

                 

Where the lights are bright and

I now all the giiiiirls are pretty
