Ring of Iron





Chorus: It's all around the town

All around the town

It's all around the town

This hard ring of iron.



There's smoke up in the sky

Smoke up in the sky

There's smoke that's black and chimney stacks

As far as the eye can see



Chorus



There's shipyards to the north

Chemicals to the south

Factories,stills and rolling mills

Right down to the river's mouth.

Chorus



But there's fields and pastures green

Fields and pastures green

There's fields and pastures green

Outside this ring of iron



Chorus



So it's out of town I'm bound

Out of town I'm bound

It's out of town I'm bound

And I'll break this ring of iron.



Chorus.
