Bad Side of Town - Alan Hull

Where I was born was called the bad side of the town

But the people knew the difference between a smile and a frown

And it didn’t cost a penny to shake a hand or two

And if you help to make it thru the dark

I would do the same thing to you

Bad side of town, old soldiers never like down

Got a penny in the pocket for a bottle of brown

And the women talk a giggling, the mothers everyone

And the cildren play with the children

And the children always had fun

I can hear the river flow, inside of everyone

In spite of everyone, the tide is on the turn

And the bad side of town, was named by nameless men

Do they knew themselves as faces never as friends

And the bad side of town, for sure it got to pull down

And the people who lives to people, never put their faces down

I can hear the river flow, inside of everyone

In spite of everyone, the tide is on the turn

I can hear the river flow, inside of everyone

In spite of everyone, the tide is on the turn
