Bad Part of Town - The Seeds

I was born on the very bad part of the town

Didn’t have windows in my tenement

Didn’t have dreams on my block

What I had was misery

What I had was misery

When at 21 years I moved away

Workin' in the coalmines in Pittsburgh and Philly, PA

Didn’t see the sun or the light

Workin' in the coalmines day and night

Then one night a cave-in came

A thousand men were killed at night

A thousand brothers killed at night

So I moved to the country, right right away

Where the sun was gold and the grass stayed green all day

Me and my love was playin' in the field

Me and my love was runnin' through the field

That night,

I was born in a run-down, lowdown, turn-down shack

Didn’t have enough to eat, or clothes on my back

But me and my brothers, we still found love

Me and my brothers, we shared a glove
