Christy Moore

City of Chicago
Chorus: In the city of Chicago As the evening shadows fall There are people dreaming Of the hills of Donegal 1847 was the year it all began Deadly pain of hunger Drove a million from the land They journeyed not for glory Their motive wasn't greed A voyage of survival across the stormy sea Chorus Some of them knew fortune And some of them knew fame More of them knew hardship Died upon the plain They spread troughout the nation They rode the railroad cars Brought their songs and music To ease their lonely hearts Chorus Aus Songtexte Mania
