lyrics

Old sunny days no frost no rain now you can swim in the Drumgeith plain
Breathe the air heed the warning, Dighty dies from global warming.

(Chorus)
Take me dancing to the JM ballroom, take me dancing to the Miner’s hall
Kissed one partner, then kissed another, wish that I had kissed them all.

Does this house keep memories, any secrets left for me?
Once when I was very young I wasn’t friends with anyone.

(Chorus)
Take me dancing to the JM ballroom, take me dancing to the Miner’s hall
Kissed one partner, then kissed another, wish that I had kissed them all.

Earth to Earth and fish swim free dust to dust is what I’ll be
Take my ashes, scatter them wide where twisting Dighty meets the tide.

Don’t breathe the air don’t heed no warning
Dighty died
from global warming.
