Lyrics
We grew up together two kids in the same dirty street And often we were cold and hungry with little to eat We were born to a life of want and poverty And living wasn't easy for Mary and me When you're poor and hungry it's hart to keep dreams alive For you need all your strenght and your will if you want to survive For I never gave up my dreams and neither did she Though living wasn't easy for Mary and me You were born in the slum littly boy And you'll die in the slum little boy You were born in the slum and you've never seen the sun You'll be there 'till kingdom come little boy We dreamed of the day when we'd both get away from the slum To a place outside where a man could earn a spot in the sun But though we dreamed our dreams they were never to be For living wasn't easy for Mary and me For Mary came to me and said she was five months gone So we married that spring before our son was born Then before we knew our kids they numbered three And living wasn't easy for Mary and me Now our kids are growing up in the same dirty street And often they're cold and hungry with little to eat Living a life of want and poverty And living isn't easy for Mary and me I wish to hell this weary life were done I wish to hell that we were dead and gone For if death's the only way we can be free Then dying will be easy for Mary and me
