INTRO: C G C G C G D7 G
G
Every Sunday we go walking to the high part of the town,
D C G
Ever since me father went up there and he found half a crown.
G
He said 'this is easy money, the conditions can't be beat!'
D C G
We've never found a penny more, but it keeps us off the street.
CHORUS:
C G
Keep your hands down in your pockets,
C G
And your eyes down on the ground,
C G
For the streets are lined with silver,
D7 G
In the high part of the town.
G
Our house is not so crowded since me mum, she ran away,
D C G
She'd rather live from hand to mouth than live from day to day.
G
Well me father's often lonely, but it's a blessing in disguise;
D C G
It's cured me mother's headaches and its cured me dad's black eyes.
CHORUS
G
Well a man came from the council for to make me go to school.
D C G
He asked me lots of questions then he told me lots of rules.
G
Then they tried to teach geography, but I found it much too hard;
D C G
When they asked me where does coal come from, I answered 'next door's yard!'
CHORUS
G
Last Sunday night me father had a bit too much to sup,
D C G
And he swapped his brand new overcoat for a seven-week-old pup.
G
They said it is was a bull dog, he believed them I suppose.
D C G
We found it was a poodle with a badly broken nose!
CHORUS
G
Well, they sent me home from school last week, 'cause they said that I had nits,
D C G
Me mother said she was ashamed, but I was thrilled to bits.
G
The other kids were green with envy, so I knew just what to do;
D C G
I sold them nits at ten pence each, and they all got sent home too!
CHORUS
G
Now me father said someday we'll live in the high part of the town,
D C G
But every time he gets a job they close the colliery down.
G
It's not when the pits are closing when me father's troubles start;
D C G
It's when they close the pubs as well, it nearly breaks his heart!
