Sylvia Barnes also rerecorded it with her next group "Scotch Measure", again only on album om Topic. Based on Sylvia's version I wrote this for a BBC TV show called "Wooly Jumpers No More" WOOLY JUMPERS NO MORE (John McCreadie) I've been a folk singer, for manys the year, I sang unacompanied, with my finger in my ear, But now I get bookings, and I want to get more, So I never shall wear wooly jumpers no more. (Ch)Wooly jumpers I'll give over, wooly jumpers I'll give o'r And I never will wear, wooly jumpers no more. I went into a folk club, I used to resort, With my beard and my jumper, I thought I looked the part. I asked for a floor spot, they answered me nay, Saying singers like you, we can get anyday. (CH) I ripped off my jumper, plugged in my guitar, With a shave and haircut, I looked like a star, The club organiser, gave a squeal of delight, And gave me a booking, for the next folk club night. (Ch) Now I play in the folk clubs, most nights of the week, with hair gel, an earing, and clothes that are chic, The audience applaud me, as they ner did before, So I never will weare wooly jumpers no more. (Ch) John McCreadie.
