Lyrics

[00:21.99] The Salvation Army band played
[00:25.41] And the children drunk lemonade
[00:29.37] And the morning lasted all day, all day
[00:37.51] And through an open window came
[00:41.07] Like Sinatra in a younger day
[00:45.23] Pushing the town away, oh
[00:53.36] hey Ah ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[00:57.70] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
[01:03.57] Life in a northern town
[01:05.73] Ah hey ma ma ma ma
[01:09.19] They sat on the stoney ground
[01:13.05] And he took a cigarette out
[01:16.98] And everyone else came down to listen
[01:23.79] He said in winter 1963
[01:28.67] It felt like the world would freeze
[01:32.59] With John F. Kennedy
[01:36.31] And The Beatles
[01:39.79] Yeah, yeah
[01:40.78] Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[01:44.86] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
[01:50.79] Life in a northern town
[01:52.80] Hey ma ma ma ma
[01:56.63] Ah hey ma ma ma
[02:00.49] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
[02:06.60] All the work shut down
[02:12.79] The evening turned to rain
[02:16.10] Watched the water roll down the drain
[02:19.91] As we followed him down to the station
[02:27.45] And though he never would wave goodbye
[02:31.48] You could see it written in his eyes
[02:35.50] As the train rolled out of sight bye bye
[02:47.55] Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[02:51.51] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
[02:57.39] Life in a northern town
[02:59.59] Ah hey ma ma ma ma
[03:03.21] Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[03:07.14] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
[03:13.37] Life in a northern town
[03:15.38] Ah hey ma ma ma ma
[03:19.00] Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[03:23.02] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
[03:30.86] Ah hey ma ma ma ma
[03:34.32] Take it easy on yourself
[03:38.51] Ah-heya ma ma ma
[03:39.36] Ah hey ma ma ma
[03:38.99] Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[03:46.89] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-ya
[03:50.82] Ah hey ma ma ma
[03:51.43] Ah hey ma ma mommy doo-din-nie-ya
[03:54.74] Ah hey ma ma ma hey-y-yah
