Cambridge Town words and music by Vic Witherspoon

Have you ever been down to Cambridge town?
Watch all the people there walking around.
The women gonna treat you fine.
They’re gonna love you ‘til the morning time.
Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down to Cambridge Town?

Have you ever seen Harvard in the morning light?
Have you ever rode the Red Line train at night?
Across the bridge to the other side
you can see the whole world open wide.
Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down to Cambridge Town?

Have you ever walked the cobblestones of the street
and handed a buck to a hobo at your feet?
‘cuz even when life gets hard
you can play your guitar on Harvard Yard
Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down to Cambridge Town?

And have you ever been on the Charles on a sunny day?
Made love to a lady while the sail boats drifted away?
The women gonna treat you fine.
They’re gonna love you to the morning time.
Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down to Cambridge Town?

Have you ever been on the stage at Club Passim
singing the song that makes you want to dream the dream?
The music fills the air.
You can feel it out on Harvard Square.
Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down to Cambridge Town?

Have you ever been down? Have you ever been down?
Have you ever been down to Cambridge Town?
