This old town, this old town
All the faces turn around
This old town, this old town
I am a stranger in my hometown

All the sidewalks and all the streets
Lead me straight right to the fields
'Cause I don't belong here
No, I don't belong here

The old church in the square
The bells ringing in the air
Make my mind feelin' blue
Yes, I'm startin' to feel blue

The old pub where we met
Where I got high with my friends
Makes a fire start in my head
Yes, a fire starts in my head

I love this town so much I hate it
It took from me more than I got
Now I must movin' on
Maybe I'll come back, I don't know

This old town, this old town
All the faces turn around
This old town, this old town
I am a stranger in my hometown

My hometown
You've turned your back 'round and around
My hometown, my dear hometown
Now I turn my back and I bid farewell
