Sugartown

This used to be a sugar town The beet was drawn from all around They came and put their money down This used to be a sugar town This used to be a thriving place Full time work, semi-state Trucks and tractors coming late Wagons at the railway gates But the kids have dreams Brand new dreams They're in control of a bright New future The kids have dreams Oh the kids have dreams This used to help to keep me sane Walking down there in the rain In the darkness of a beet campaign This used to help keep me sane This used to put my mind at ease Sweet Molasses In the breeze But the kids have dreams... Sugar town, hanging around I see them in the morning going Out to school Laughing and joking, playing the Fool They've never known what it's like To be down Living in a sugar town But the kids have dreams...
