Glasgow Songtext

von Billy Connolly

Oh, I wish I was in Glasgow with some good old friends of mine
Some good old rough companions, some good old smooth red wine
We could talk about the old times, and the old town's sad decline
And drink to the boys of the road
I was born in Glasgow, in the centre of the town
I'd take you there and show you, but they've pulled the old place down
And when I think about it, it always makes me frown
They bulldozed it all to make a road
[Chorus]

And the great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
Still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
But Glasgow gave me more, than she ever took away
She prepared me for life on the road
My mother was cleaner, my Granddad drove a tram
My father was an engineer, they made me what I am
They've seen this city come and go, still they give a damn
There's so much to learn on the road
[Chorus]

And the great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
Still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
But Glasgow gave me more, than she ever took away
She prepared me for life on the road
Oh, I belong to Glasgow, that's how the old song ran
Ask anyone who lived there and they will understand
You can take the man from Glasgow, but not Glasgow from the man
It prepares you for life on the road
[Chorus]

And the great old place I miss so much, has seen much better days
Still we talk about it, as we go our separate ways
But Glasgow gave me more, than she ever took away
She prepared me for life on the road
Yes Glasgow gave me more, than she ever took away
She prepared me for life on the road
