In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl your so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
Watch my daddy in bed a-dying
Watch his hair, it's turning grey
He's been working, he's slavin' his life away
He's been workin so hard
I've been working too babe
Every night and day
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl there's a better life for me and You
You know it babe and I know it too
