Genny Glenn

(album: New Frontier - 1962)

Well, I'm not gonna brag but I been courting all my life
They consider me a roguish lad, especially for my size

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again

Now, Genny would come a-calling while there was still some light
I'd sit her down with a pull or two. She'd stay most all the night
I'd put my arm around her and then I'd bar the door
There'd be laughing and some squealing like you never heard before

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again

Well, a lot of girls would-a liked me and they're pretty, heaven knows
But there's something about my Genny that keeps me on my toes
She'd tickle me and squeeze me till I could hardly moan
Then she'd light out a-running and I'd chase her half way home

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again

Well, she wouldn't come to see me for about a week or more
She'd do it just to tease me 'cause she knew it made me sore
Then I'd do whiskey drinking till the jug was getting dry
I'd go looking for my Genny with a mean look in my eye

And with you, and with you, and with you, Genny Glenn
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
I'll take you down to Glasgow Town and dance you home again
