(words & music by margaret a roche)



If you go down to hammond

You'll never come back

In my opinion you're

On the wrong track

We'll always love you but

That's not the point



If you go with that fella

Forget about us

As far as i'm concerned

That would be just

Throwing yourself away

Not even trying

Come on you're lying to me



Well i went down to hammond

I did as i pleased

I ain't the only one

Who's got this disease



Why don't you face the fact

You old upstart

We fall apart



You'd be okay if you'd

Just stay in school

Don't be a fool



Do your eyes have an answer

To this song of mine

They say we meet again

On down the line

Where is on down the line

How far away?

Tell me i'm okay



If you go down to hammond

You'll never come back
