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, away
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| Life in a northern town
| Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
|
| They sat on the stony ground and he took a cigarette out
| And everyone else came down to listen
| It was the winter 1963, it felt like the world would freeze
| With John F. Kennedy and the Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| Life in a northern town
| Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| They shut the factory down
| Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
|
| The evening had turned to rain, watched the water roll down the drain
| As they followed him down to the station
| And he would never wave goodbye, you could see it written in his eyes
| As the train pulled out of sight, bye, bye
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| Life in a northern town
| Hey, ma ma ma, take it easy on yourself
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| Life in a northern town
| Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| Life in a northern town
| Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
|
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, into the night
| Hey, ah, ma, ma, ma, hey, ah
| Life in a northern town
| Hey, ma, ma, ma, ma
