A Salvation Army Band played
And the children drank limonade
And the morning lasted all day,
All day
And through an open window came
Like Sinatraa in a younger day,
Pushing the town away
Ah -

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town

They sat on the stoney ground
And he took a cigerette out
And everyone else came down
To listen.
He said "In winter 1963
It felt like the world would freeze
With John F. Kennedy
And the Beatles."

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma
All the work shut down

The evening turned to rain
Watcht the water fall down the drain,
As we followed him down
To the station
And though he never would wave goodbye,
You could see it written in his eyes
As the train rolled out of site
Bye-bye.

(Chant)
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
Ah hey ma ma ma
Life in a northern town
