Lyrics of Dark side of newtown

Piggy roy was a sugar trader, living on the brink
Couldn't make enough of it, dealing on king street
It was a hard hard time, near the store that named a town
It was a hard hard time, on the dark side of newtown
On the dark side of newtown
Jessie she married fred in april across from newtown station
They took the horse-drawn tram right up to the celebration
Together nearly 40 years when fred he departed
Jessie dressed in widow's weeds round newtown thereafter
It was a hard hard time, near the store that named a town
It was a hard hard time, on the bad side of newtown
On the bad side of newtown
Tommy died in the infirmary, he was buried by a tree
Near the track of the eora, in a grave that can't be seen
There's paupers in a graveyard, on the city surround
You know poverty is spreading, there's an epidemic in newtown
Chop a load 'baker's wood', with a felling axe,
Load it on a donkey dray, with a pile of knickknacks
Make a pound note bet at a dishlicker meet
Watch the coat-tugger lose if its a dead-heat
Chorus
It was a hard hard time, near the store that named a town
It was a hard hard time, on the bad side of newtown
On the bad side of newtown
On the bad side of newtown
