This used to be a sugar town
|
The beet was drawn from all around
|
They came and put their money down
|
This used to be a sugar town
|
|
This used to be a thriving place
|
Full time work, semi-state
|
Trucks and tractors coming late
|
Wagons at the railway gates
|
|
But the kids have dreams
|
Brand new dreams
|
They’re in control of a bright
|
New future
|
The kids have dreams
|
Oh the kids have dreams
|
|
This used to help to keep me sane
|
Walking down there in the rain
|
In the darkness of a beet campaign
|
This used to help keep me sane
|
This used to put my mind at ease
|
Sweet Molasses
|
In the breeze
|
|
|
But the kids have dreams......
|
|
Sugar town , hanging around
|
|
I see them in the morning going
|
Out to school
|
Laughing and joking , playing the Fool
|
They’ve never known what it’s like
|
To be down
|
Living in a sugar town
|
|
But the kids have dreams.......
