| Well the docks lie crippled
|
| In the northem towns
|
| The boys have all gone away
|
| Trying to find work down south
|
| And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
|
| Won’t someone have mercy on my soul
|
| On my soul, soul, soul
|
| HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
|
| In a valley that once sang out sang proud
|
| HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
|
| To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
|
| Now I’ve seen the future
|
| And I’ve seen the past
|
| And I’ve seen the lights go down
|
| On this world fading fast
|
| And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
|
| Won’t someone have mercy on my soul
|
| On my soul, soul, soul
|
| HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
|
| In a valley that once sang out sang proud
|
| HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
|
| To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
|
| And mister I walk in the valley of the shadow
|
| Won’t someone have mercy on my soul
|
| On my soul, soul, soul
|
| HALLOWED GROUND how sad is the sound
|
| In a valley that once sang out sang proud
|
| HALLOWED GROUND where the ships run aground
|
| To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
|
| Now I’ve got a wife and a young child
|
| Back home in my house
|
| Oh I’ve got someone
|
| I’ve got to take care of somehow |
