D A/D
A salvation army band played. And the children drank lemon-ade.
G D D
And the morning lasted all day. All day.
And through an open window came. Like Sinatra in a younger day.
Pushing the town a-way. Away
D D
Ah hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay. Hey ma ma ma,
G D
hey-ay-ay-ay. Life in a northern town
They sat on the stony ground. And he took a cigarette out.
And everyone else came down. to listen.
He said in Winter 1963. It felt like the world would freeze.
With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles.
Ah hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay. Hey ma ma ma,
hey-ay-ay-ay. Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay. Hey ma ma ma,
hey-ay-ay-ay. All of the work shut down.
The evening had turned to rain. Watch the water roll down the drain.
As we followed him down to the station.
Although he never would waved goodbye. You could see it written in his eyes.
As the train rolled out of sight, bye bye.
Ah hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay. Hey ma ma ma,
hey-ay-ay-ay. Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma ma, n-ny-ay. Hey ma ma ma,
hey-ay-ay-ay. All of the work shut down.
