Well, I tried. I think I'd do better if it were German. Could somebody correct this for me?
Thanks.

ALL ALONG THE ROSSENDALE
(Mick Jones)

The cotton mills are closing down all over Lancashire
From Burnley to the Mersey, and from Oldham to the Wyre
And all along the Rossendale, you'll hear a weary cry,
And the wind across the Pennines heaves a low and a deadly sigh.

Save our sheds from unemployment, that's all that we demand,
For we're clemming and we're starving, with no money in our hand.
Redeployment is the answer, from Whitehall's empty mouth,
Come leave your home and your family, lads; there's jobs for you down south.

But meanwhile for the last time, the factory whistles blow
For the profit margin's falling, and the capital's run low
And the stockbrokers of Altrincham, they must sell off all their shares
And not give a damn for the workingman, 'cause no one really cares

Now the sun sets over Pendle, and the rain begins to fall
And the government in Westminster ignores the weavers' call
And the glory that was England dies beneath the coal-black hills
And the legends of Jerusalem with the dark, Satanic mills

The cotton mills are closing down all over Lancashire
From Burnley to the Mersey, and from Oldham to the Wyre
And all along the Rossendale, you'll hear a weary cry,
And the wind across the Pennines heaves a low and a deadly sigh.

And the glory that was England dies beneath the coal-black hills
And the legends of Jerusalem with the dark, Satanic mills
CHORUS
