I Wish I Was in Glasgow Songtext
von Gerry Cinnamon

Oh, I wish I was in Glasgow
With some good old pals of mine
Some good old rough companions
And some good old smooth red wine
We would talk about the old days
And the ship y′all sad decline
And drink to the boys on the road

Oh, I was born in Glasgow
Near the center of the town
I would take you there and show you
But they've pulled the building down
Anytime it′s in my mind, it always makes me frown
They bulldozed it all to make a road


All that great old place I miss so much has seen much better days
And still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
Oh, but Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

Oh, my granny was a cleaner, and my grandad drove a tram
My father an engineer, they made me all I am
They have seen the city come and go, still they give a damn
There is so much to learn along the road

And the great old place I miss so much has seen much better days
And still we talk about it as we go our separate ways
Oh, but Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

And Glasgow gave me more than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road
