(C)
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refuse to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Verse 1:
(C)
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due
[45: See LP: Watch] my daddy in bed a-dying
See his hair a turning grey
He's been working and slavin' his life away
(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
He's been work, work, work, work
(yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Chorus

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do
F Bb C
We gotta get out of this place

F Eb Bb C 4X
1: You know it babe and I know it too
2: Somewhere baby, somehow I know it
Verse 2:
(C)
My little girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
[1: Your gonna die 2: You'll be dead] before your time is due
[45: See LP: Watch] my daddy in bed a-dying
See his hair a turning grey
He's been working and slavin' his life away
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
