1. There were young folk
|
In the church hall
|
In the old days
|
They packed them in
|
There was laughter
|
There was singing
|
It's a different story now ...
|
|
Chorus
|
It's just a little town
|
Getting smaller very year
|
Let the years slip quickly by
|
And then wave your kids goodbye
|
Off to make a life away from here
|
This town is getting smaller every year.
|
|
2. Have your children, give them schooling
|
Give them friendship give them love
|
Finish high school hold them tightly
|
Shed a tear and let them go ...
|
|
Chorus
|
|
3. Head to uni
|
Go to college
|
Get employment
|
Get a trade
|
Meet a partner
|
Start a family
|
Only back on holidays
|
|
