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
