lyrics

Queen of Stourbridge Town

Mary at the window looking out across the field
Where the stream ran through the orchard and the church bells they pealed
Across the road the Stour drove the foundry and the mill
And the boats they carried cargo all the way to Castle Hill

She wears a crown with her stately gown
She’s the queen of Stourbridge Town
She wears a crown with her stately gown
She’s the queen of Stourbridge Town

The workers in the foundry in the heat that’s fit to burst
Forged a Lion for Amerikey and came to slake their thirst
But it broke the lines and never ran and a legend it was born
On the banks of New York’s Hudson lie the wheels that never turned

Picture on a postcard Zachariah looking down
At the turning of the century his family gathered round
John Francis saw the coming of the second world at war
Saw the bombs rain fire on Birmingham from the step outside the door

Katie at the bar she sat one evening holding court
For she hung the name Fitzgerald’s on the sign above the door
Heard the sound of footsteps was the ghost of Mary;s child
With two hundred years of memories in the shining of her eyes
