GUEST,JMCC Alternative words for the Wild Rover?? (103* d) Lyr Add: WOOLY JUMPERS NO MORE (John McCreadie) 05 Jul 00


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.
