A Salvation Army band played
And the children drank lemonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatra in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma do be do nayah hey ah ma ma ma hey Ah
Life in a northern town.
They sat on the stoney 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;
(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma do be do nayah hey ah ma ma ma hey Ah
Life in a northern town.
Ah hey ma ma ma do be do nayah hey ah ma ma ma hey Ah
All 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
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of sight
Bye-bye.
