Lyrics Dillinger Four

Dillinger Four

Sally Maclennane

Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born

He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn

He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn

And they all looked very happy in the morning

But Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours

Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks

And had too many powers

So sad to see the grieving of the people that I'm leaving

And he took the road to God knows in the morning

We walked him to the station in the rain

Then we kissed him as we put him on the train

Then we sang him a song of times long gone

But we knew that we'd be seeing him again

I'm sad to say I must be on my way

So buy me beer or whiskey cause I'm going far away

I'm glad to think I'll be returning when I can

To the greatest little boozer and to Sally MacLennane
