Ring of Iron Chorus: It's all around the town All around the town It's all around the town This hard ring of iron. There's smoke up in the sky Smoke up in the sky There's smoke that's black and chimney stacks As far as the eye can see Chorus There's shipyards to the north Chemicals to the south Factories,stills and rolling mills Right down to the river's mouth. Chorus But there's fields and pastures green Fields and pastures green There's fields and pastures green Outside this ring of iron Chorus So it's out of town I'm bound Out of town I'm bound It's out of town I'm bound And I'll break this ring of iron. Chorus. Author not known. Song believed to be about Middlesborough, on Teeside, North East England. @environment filename[ RINGIRN RP ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
