INTRO: C G C G C G D7 GEvery GSunday we go walking to the high part of the town, D C G Ever since me father went up there and he found half a crown. GHe said 'this is easy money, the conditions can't be beat!' D C G We've never found a penny more, but it keeps us off the street.CHORUS: C G Keep your hands down in your pockets, C G And your eyes down on the ground, C G For the streets are lined with silver, D7 G In the high part of the town.Our Ghouse is not so crowded since me mum, she ran away, D C G She'd rather live from hand to mouth than live from day to day. GWell me father's often lonely, but it's a blessing in disguise; D C G It's cured me mother's headaches and its cured me dad's black eyes.CHORUSWell a Gman came from the council for to make me go to school. D C G He asked me lots of questions then he told me lots of rules. GThen they tried to teach geography, but I found it much too hard; D C G When they asked me where does coal come from, I answered 'next door's yard!'CHORUSLast GSunday night me father had a bit too much to sup, D C G And he swapped his brand new overcoat for a seven-week-old pup. GThey said it is was a bull dog, he believed them I suppose. D C G We found it was a poodle with a badly broken nose!CHORUSWell, they Gsent me home from school last week, 'cause they said that I had nits, Me Dmother said she was ashamed, but CI was thrilled to Gbits. GThe other kids were green with envy, so I knew just what to do; I Dsold them nits at ten pence each, and they Call got sent home Gtoo!CHORUSNow me Gfather said someday we'll live in the high part of the town, D C G But every time he gets a job they close the colliery down. GIt's not when the pits are closing when me father's troubles start; D C G It's when they close the pubs as well, it nearly breaks his heart!CHORUS http://www.jezlowe.com/
