Lyrics

MY BIRMINGHAM

Now before I go let me tell you a tale                                                                  

About a heart too bold and another that is frail

Come with me outside I’m gonna try to rope the wind

And I’ll show you all what might have been

Farewell to thee my Birmingham

 

I made my way through the thicket

I walked upon them coals

I climbed that wall between us

And I stood right at her door

And oh how I tried, but she would not let me in

So I won’t be coming ‘round here again

Farewell to thee my Birmingham

 

Hey, hey, hey, hey-ho

I say hey, hey, hey, hey-ho

I cry hey, hey,  hey,  hey-ho

 

Now I do not believe, it was all to no avail

So I dusted off my heart, and I hoisted up that sail

I’m at the mercy of the sea, done cursing at the wind

For it will blow my way again

Farewell to thee my Birmingham

Fare thee well my Birmingham
