A Salvation Army band played
And the children drunk 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, ah
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
Life in a northern town
Hey ma, ma, ma
They sat on the stony ground
And he took a cigarette 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"
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
Life in a northern town
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
All the work shut down
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
The evening turned to rain
Watched the water roll down the drain
And 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 sight, bye-bye
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
Life in a northern town
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
All of the work shut down
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
Make it easy on yourself
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
Hey ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
Life in a northern town
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
Hey ma, ma, hey da-naya
Hey ma, ma, ma, hey
Life in a northern town
Hey ma, ma, ma, ma
