Lyrics Manayunk - Vagabond Opera

Manayunk

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
