Lyrics:

Oh, this ugly city
I can't even seem to see the stars up above
Oh, this lonely city
Where can I go but to the arms of the one I love
She knows me
We've got so many things
I should be so thankful
She's beautiful
and day by day it just grows and grows

And like the ocean, it just rolls
While the ugly city grows
But we're safe my love and me
'cause our love is like the sea, oh

I once saw a rainbow in Washington
But only one, then day was done
It lived for just a little while
then the city smiled and it died

Someday I'll leave this ugly city
Up and pack my bags and catch me an eastern bound train
Yes, I'm gonna leave this lonely city
I'm leaving just as soon as I find my fortune and fame
Oh this ugly city
All I seem to do wis work and I never can save
Oh this ugly city
Working a poor man to fill an early grave
Wish it would rain
