"Stomping Ground" lyrics

"Stomping Ground"

Take me down the Strandtown
Take me down to Orangefield
Take me right back to Bloomfield Village
Back to my old stomping ground

Take me down to Lord Street
Take me right back to Helm Grove
Take me down to the Hyndford Street
She'll see where I started from

Take me down to Mystic Avenue
In the golden, golden autumn time
Take me down to St. Thomas Church of Ireland
Found me here, the sound of six bells chime

Take me down to the corner of Woodcot Avenue
Where the corner boys used to hang
Take me down to John Long's corner
Let me drive by a bunch of creeps

Take me back to the Mystic Avenue
In the golden, golden autumn time
Take me back to the Church of Ireland
My halos, Sunday six bells chime

Take me down to Strandtown
Take me down to Orangefield
Take me back to the Bloomfield Village
Back to the old stomping ground

Back to my old stomping ground
Back to my old stomping ground
