A sad and moving song from John this time... Those of you who listen to Chalie and the Bhoys will reconise the tune and some of the words from 'Albert Kidd'. Tim Donnehy wrote this about a small town (Prypiat) not far from Chernobyl. Pripyat is an abandoned city in the 'Zone of Alienation' in northern Ukraine, Kiev Oblast, near the border with Belarus. It was home to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant workers. The city was abandoned in 1986 following the Chernobyl disaster. 50000 people used to live here; now it's a ghost town. This has also recorded by Christy Moore If anyone feels I have made a mistake, please do not hesitate to contact me. en.wikipedia.org
