London Danny |
| London Danny is a real bad penny |
| The one man time has told me I should fear |
| For the girl you left behind, she said she would be mine |
| So why did you have to come and show your face round here |
| For she always said that time would make it right |
| But now I always hear her sighing in the night |
| And don’t think I don’t know, if you asked her then she’d go |
| Ah but please now don’t you take her from me, London Danny |
| Well I’ve learned to listen for your name round town |
| Whe people talk of your success in city life |
| But I could never tell if she heard them talk as well |
| Or rue the day she ever was a poor man’s wife |
| For she always said that time would make it right |
| But now I always hear her sighing in the night |
| And don’t think I don’t know, if you asked her then she’d go |
| Ah but please now don’t you take her from me, London Danny |
| Well me' hands are black while yours are clean and clever |
| There’s ways you know to turn her pretty head |
| Well its all that I can do when me' working day is through |
| To let her heart beat me to sleep each night in bed |
| For she always said that time would make it right |
| But now I always hear her sighing in the night |
| And don’t think I don’t know, if you asked her then she’d go |
| Ah but please now don’t you take her from me, London Danny |
| Well London Danny you’re a real bad penny |
| The one man time has told me I should fear |
| For the girl you left behind, she said she would be mine |
| So why did you have to come and show your face round here |
| For she always said that time would make it right |
| But now I always hear her sighing in the night |
| And don’t think I don’t know, if you asked her then she’d go |
| Ah but please now don’t you take her from me, London Danny |
