Lyrics
when I first came to this city as a young man with dreams to fulfill, I worked hard in the factories I worked hard in the mill, I was honest and I though that my labours would earn me comforts, Like a home for my family and a fire for my olf age, But after all these years of working, this town has dragged me down, I feel like I have nothing to show for my sweat, So I'm going down to the harbour to find a ship with my girl, thats going to take us to the New World, Oh Sweet Marie you look so weary and your pretty eyes have lost thier gleam, From all those evenings spent working in the gloom of your workroom, I know your mistress she treats you badly and she doesn't care at all, As long as you sew those fancy dresses for the ladies to wear to the ball, Come with me to a place where we can play in the sun, we wont work for no pittance, we wont work for no-one. I'm going down to the harbour to find a ship with my Girl, Its going to take us, to the new World. Down to the harbour, Down to the Harbour, take us, take us, To The New World. Come with me to a place where we can play in the sun, we wont work for no pittance, we wont work for no-one. Im going down to the Harbour, Down to the Harbour, Take me to the new world.
