Ugly City

Oh, this ugly city. I can't even seem to see the stars up

above.

Oh, this lonely city. Where can I go but to the arms of

the one I love.

She knows me. We've got so many things, I should be so

thankful.

She's beautiful, and day by day it just grows and grows.

And like the ocean, it just rolls. While the ugly city

grows.

But we're safe my love and me, 'cause our love is like

the sea, oh.

I once saw a rainbow in Washington. But only one, then

day was done.

It lived for just a little while, then the city smiled

and it died.

Someday I'll leave this ugly city. Up and pack my bags

and catch me an eastern bound train.

Yes, I'm gonna leave this lonely city. I'm leaving just

as soon as I find my fortune and fame.

Oh this ugly city. Working a poor man to fill an early

grave.

Wish it would rain.
