Vagabond opera – Manayunk Lyrics

Artist: Vagabond opera
Song: Manayunk

I woke up the morning
It was hard on my back
I could see the grey clouds in the sky
As I wander down the main street, a-clickity-clack

And the train come a-rumbling by
Oh goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid thee farewell

The bridge, the canal
Far away I’ll be drinking to you
In the town that I met you
There’s a river runs through

Like a muddy old snake on the ground
And the smoke stacks out smoking
And the man will be broken
‘Til the factories comes tumbling down

When it’s raining on the main street, it washes your face
I kissed you on the doorstep one day
Like when we was fifteen
And life wasn’t so mean

Back when I never thought I wouldn’t stay
Oh, goodbye Billy, and goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid thee farewell

The bridge, the canal
Far away I’ll be drinking to you
We was married on Sunday
You left me next week

That’s alright, I was gonna leave too
But I’ll never forget dear
You told me you loved me
And I told you that I loved you

And from the train window, I still see your face
Washed by rain back when we was fifteen
Well, goodbye Katerina
Goodbye honey old town

You’re the prettiest I’ve ever seen
{Chorus
Oh, goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew

I bid thee farewell
The bridge, the canal
Far away I’ll be drinking to you
