Big George |
Once upon a time there |
Was a friend of mine called |
Big George |
All the movers in the town |
Knew his kinda frown |
And his how do |
He was the kind of a guy |
He’d look you in the eye |
And he’d say more sir |
And to get him on the run |
It’d take a 10 ton gun |
And that’s no joke sir |
But I ain’t seen him |
In a long long time |
I ain’t been back that way no |
So give him my regards |
And I’ll make the day |
I’ll make the day |
Every Friday night |
As they turn out the lights |
At Callum county hall |
We can move him from the bar |
Make it to the car |
And he’d say where to? |
The idea’s to live |
Two days to thrill |
And one weeks wages in my boot |
We used to ride the border line |
With blues, women and booze |
Making fun time |
Son of a guns |
Yeah at night he’s hot |
Big George |
Sometimes at night |
You’ll find him in a fight |
Big George yeah |
My hands are full |
You had 'em all |
All of them gone |
Sax Solo |
He’s a hard man to beat |
With a size 10 feet |
Don’t mess with big George |
Or he’ll put you in the ground |
Later to be found |
Don’t mess with big George |
I kind of gutter smile |
When I think of her style |
Way back in those days |
But fair Raven had it all |
He never took her palm |
No big George |
Don’t mess with Big George |
He’s my pal don’t mess with Big George |
Eh he eh baby don’t mess with |
Big George |
Oh no, no no no, don’t mess with |
Big George |

Not completely accurate:
He was the kind of a guy he'd look you in the eye and he'd say "NO sir"
Every Friday night as they turn out the lights in **CARLISLE** county hall
WE'D GET MOVED ON from the bar, make it to the car and he's say "where to?"
Yeah, the idea's to live two days to FILL and one weeks wages in my boot
We used to ride the **border line** with blues, women and booze making fun time
[** Carlisle is a British town where Greg Ridley was born and spent his early years. It sits almost on the Scottish border hence the "border line" mentioned.]
Son of a gun yeah he liked his fun, Big George
Yeah, SOME TIME OF night YOU'D CATCH him in a fight
Big George yeah, I HAD SOME FUN, you had 'em all ON THE RUN
I kind of GOTTA smile when I think of THE style way back in those days
But for RAVING AND it all he never took a fall no big George
