WRITTEN BY MICHAEL BACON 

 

Sweet July's not welcomed here 

Here the trees are green all year 

They don't need her summer's glow 

In this land of ice and snow 

Lakes of steel frozen flat 

July comes and changes that 

Smashing with her warm sun rays 

Tilts the docks and heaves the highways 

 

Chorus 

July you're a young girl 

July It's an old world 

My heart races when I see you nearing 

But I know I'll soon be hearing 

The sad songs the mad songs 

The everything is bad songs 

Won't you fly away 

July away 

 

I once had a girl so fair 

With eyes of blue and golden hair 

Don't know why she let me go 

To this land of ice and snow 

 

Chorus
