Loudon Wainwright Iii - Ode To A Pittsburgh lyrics

Pennsylvania's western daughter With your tubes of Liberty Princess of pig iron slaughter With your boyfriend, Carnegie Oh you were stained gla**ed, you were smoke stacked You were laid in cobblestone You were trolley cart tracked And for you the red sky shown And while thieves and black-sleeved buccaneers Pitched and kicked their orbs It was for you that I cheered my wild cheers In the field of Mr. Forbes I sent cinnamints from Shady Side I paid homage from the Hill Oh no it cannot be denied Oh cola coke can't k** Let the trees in Schenley grow strong May the bagpipes never burst Let the Allegheny roll right along May I thirst the Duquesne thirst May your steel mills stand forever And your Learning tower too May Mellon remain clever Good luck and God bless you
