Manayunk Songtext
von Vagabond Opera

I woke up the morning
It was hard on my back
I could see the grey clouds in the sky
As I wonder down the main street click-tic-clack
And the train coming rumbling by

Oh goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid the farewell
The bridge looking out
Far away I′ll be drinking to you

In the town that I met you
There's a river runs through
Like a muddy old snake on the ground
And the smoke stacks out smoking
And the man we′ll be broken
'Till the factories comes tumbling down


When it's raining on the mains street and it washes your face
I kissed you on the doorstep one day
Like when we "was" 15
And life wasn′t so mean
Back when I never thought I wouldn′t stay

Oh goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid the farewell
The bridge looking out
Far away I'll be drinking to you

We "was" married on Sunday
You left me next week
That′s alright I was gonna leave too
But I'll never forget dear
You told me you loved me
And I told you that I loved you

And from the train window I still see your face
Washed by rain like when we "was" 15
Well, goodbye Carolina
Goodbye honey old town
You′re the prettiest I've ever seen


Oh goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid the farewell
The bridge looking out
Far away I′ll be drinking to you
