1. There were young folk
In the church hall
In the old days
They packed them in
There was laughter
There was singing
It's a different story now ...
Chorus
It's just a little town
Getting smaller very year
Let the years slip quickly by
And then wave your kids goodbye
Off to make a life away from here
This town is getting smaller every year.
2. Have your children, give them schooling
Give them friendship give them love
Finish high school hold them tightly
Shed a tear and let them go ...
Chorus
3. Head to uni
Go to college
Get employment
Get a trade
Meet a partner
Start a family
Only back on holidays
