THE MISSION HALL. \u00a0 ( Peter Livingstone)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And when your walking the London river<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you’re strolling down the Mall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nightshift ends in a Soho bar room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think on back to the Mission Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Winters creepin\u2019 across the sea now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rain it’s freezing on the wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Doos and sparrows by the chimney<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the roof of the Mission Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh summer days and smiling faces<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Waiting for the night to fall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Making eyes and saving wages <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the dance at the Mission Hall<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ah when I saw her, well I could have hugged her<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eyes so young wi’ a kindly brow<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breaking hearts with foolish glances <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Breaking lives with foolish vows<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well they say that the sweetest kisses <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Surely hide the darkest souls <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And for all that her lovin’ was tender <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her heart was black as the winter coal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well she saved the fare for the train to Euston <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bought a round and shot the craw <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blew a kiss and blessed the baby<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broke my heart to see her go\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well Fortune cheats when Fortune gambles <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Makes you walk when you can’t crawl <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortune pulled a blindewr on me <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the shade of the Mission Hall.
