Boltons Yard Songtext
von Harp and a Monkey

Number 1 in Bolton Yard
A woman runs a school
We know just what she′s teaching there
Men pay to play the fool
Number 3 there's no-one home
They moved out yesterday
The bailiff came and marked their things
And took them all away

Number 9 the old man lives
The bloke who mends my shoes
He′s getting very frail and weak
He won't be with us soon


All life is here
All life is here
All hopes and all fears
Through the vale of tears
All life is here
All life is here
All hopes and all fears
Through the vale of tears

Number 10 they're migrant folk
There′s only a man and wife
I have to say I′ve never met
A finer couple in all my life
So now I've done I′ll say farewell
And ask for no reward
For telling who my neighbours are
Who live in Bolton Yard

All life is here
All life is here
All hopes and all fears
Through the vale of tears
All life is here
All life is here
All hopes and all fears
Through the vale of tears

You say farewell
I'll say goodnight
