As a fair old lady she opens up her eyes In her hands a steaming cup a feeling that's got no price See her grey hair shimmering bright Sitting in a rocking chair in early morning's hazy light I remember the day when I first earned my pay Down at the docks by the seaside cleaning up the quay I spent my time there and to tell you the truth Those were happy days in my long gone youth That's the town I love in many ways That's the town where I spend my days Where warm Sun shines from above This fair old lady is my only love When I returned home from a far away land I smell what I missed the flavour of this unique brand I hope that I never have to leave my loved wife In this rusted shady town I want to exhale my life That's the town I love in many ways That's the town where I spend my days Where warm Sun shines from above This fair old lady is my only love That's the town I love in many ways That's the town where I spend my days Where warm Sun shines from above This fair old lady is my only love The clouds I saw them go and come A smile instead of a glass filled with rum Down the midnight streets I hear The church bell ringing in my ear My day has come it's my last breath Oh my lady what a wonderful death That's the town I love in many ways That's the town where I spend my days Where warm Sun shines from above This fair old lady is my only love This fair old lady is my only love This fair old lady is my only love This fair old lady is my only love
