Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (...a pawnshop...
Subject: RE: Word to Pawnshop in Pittsburg
And btw, though I've lived in Pittsburgh for 38 years, I never heard of tge song "There's A Pawnshop In Pittsburgh" before reading about it on Mudcat. And I dare say that few people living in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region nowadays know this the words to or even know of this song.

But then again, few Pittsburghers know tbat the 19th century songwriter Stephen Foster was a Pittsburger. And nowadays few Pittsburgers sing Stephen Foster's songs. But the reasons for that are a whole 'nuther story.
