Life In A Northern Town Lyrics

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
Ah hey, ma ma ma 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 Life in a northern town Ah hey, ma ma ma 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
Ah hey, ma ma ma Life in a northern town Ah hey, ma ma ma Life in a northern town
