Well the docks lie crippled
In the northem towns
The boys have all gone away
Trying to find work down south
And mister i walk in the valley of the shadow
Won`t someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
Now i`ve seen the future
And i`ve seen the past
And i`ve seen the lights go down
On this world fading fast
And mister i walk in the valley of the shadow
Won`t someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
And mister i walk in the valley of the shadow
Won`t someone have mercy on my soul
On my soul, soul, soul
Hallowed ground how sad is the sound
In a valley that once sang out sang proud
Hallowed ground where the ships run aground
To die in the harbour in a rust ridden town, town, town, town
