about

A local folk song reinterpreted by Scamps

lyrics

Yeah I got those Fore River blues
Walk around with nothing to do
The used car lots go down to the shore
I got a feeling I can't take any more

And You all are nothing to me
I seen you swim in from the side of the sea
And Pretty girl your gonna come home to me
But if the bridge is high... I won't see you tonight

I grew up in the shadow of a crane
Enough to drive a straight man insane
I stumble out to the bar every night
And don't searching til I see the light

And You all are nothing to me
I seen you swim in from the side of the sea
And Pretty girl your gonna come home to me
But if the bridge is high... I won't see you tonight
