Lyrics

Well the docks lie crippled In the northern 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 Now I've got a wife and a young child Back home in my house Oh I've got someone I've got to take care of somehow
