Skinny Lister - Seventeen Summers lyrics

Artist: Skinny Lister

album: Forge & Flagon


I was only a boy when the village I fled,
To some southern flung place all about I had read,
I said give me a year and I'll return again,
Then a year turned to two and then two turned to ten,
Oh and seventeen summers I gave to this city,
With many a lover that came and then went,
All the friends and the stories, I think of them dearly,
On these rotten streets my best days have been spent,
I was only a boy when to London I came,
Chancing my luck on some fortune or fame,
Well still they allied me, but still I remain,
That dirty old river, it runs through my veins,
Oh and seventeen summers I gave to this city,
With many a lover that came and then went,
All the friends and the stories, I think of them dearly,
On these rotten streets my best days have been spent,
INSTRUMENTAL
Oh and seventeen summers I gave to this city,
With many a lover that came and then went,
All the friends and the stories, I think of them dearly,
On these rotten streets my best days have been spent,
On these rotten streets my best days have been spent,
