Sugartown

This used to be a sugar town

The beet was drawn from all around

They came and put their money down

This used to be a sugar town

This used to be a thriving place

Full time work, semi-state

Trucks and tractors coming late

Wagons at the railway gates

But the kids have dreams

Brand new dreams

They're in control of a bright

New future

The kids have dreams

Oh the kids have dreams

This used to help to keep me sane

Walking down there in the rain

In the darkness of a beet campaign

This used to help keep me sane

This used to put my mind at ease

Sweet Molasses

In the breeze

But the kids have dreams......

Sugar town , hanging around

I see them in the morning going

Out to school

Laughing and joking , playing the Fool

They've never known what it's like

To be down

Living in a sugar town

But the kids have dreams.......
