Manayunk Lyrics by Vagabond Opera

Vagabond Opera

2006

[Verse 1]
I woke up the morning
It was hard on my back
I could see the grey clouds in the sky
As I wander down the main street, a-clickity-clack
And the train come a-rumbling by
[Chorus]
Oh, goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid thee farewell
The bridge, the canal
Far away I'll be drinking to you
[Verse 2]
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 will be broken
'Til the factories comes tumbling down
When it's raining on the main street, it washes your face
I kissed you on the doorstep one day
Like when we was fifteen
And life wasn’t so mean
Back when I never thought I wouldn't stay
[Chorus]
Oh, goodbye Billy, and goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid thee farewell
The bridge, the canal
Far away I'll be drinking to you
[Verse 3]
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 back when we was fifteen
Well, goodbye Katerina
Goodbye honey old town
You're the prettiest I've ever seen
[Chorus]
Oh, goodbye Billy, goodbye mom
Goodbye to the girls that I knew
I bid thee farewell
The bridge, the canal
Far away I'll be drinking to you
