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
