Richard Thompson - The Light Bob's Lassie

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I know where I'm going
And I know who's going with me
I know who I love
But the (?...) knows who I'll marry

First when I came to town
They called me young and bonny
Now they've changed my name
They call me the light bob's honey

First when I came to town
They called me (?...)
Now they've changed my name
They call me the light bob's lassie

(?...)
(?...)
(?...)
That the light bob I'm to follow

{Verse 2}
Oh feather beds are soft
And painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all
(?...) Johnny

Oh my heart's been sore
(?...)
Won't see him tonight
But I'll see him (?...)

I know where I'm going
And I know who's going with me
I know who I love
But the (?...) knows who I'll marry

I know where I'm going
And I know who's going with me
I know who I love
But the (?...) knows who I'll marry

Richard thompson is a singer-songwriter and guitar player, who’s work is praised by the press through the years, for both his compositions as his guitar playing. He was nominated for major prices for several of his recordings.
Music critic Neil McCormick described Thompson as “a versatile virtuoso guitarist and a sharp observational singer-songwriter whose work burns with intelligence and dark emotion”.
After succes with his former folk-rock band Fairport Convention, he first made criticly acclaimed albums with his wife Linda Thompson. After there divorce he made about 18 solo albums, as well as making it a habit to publiss live performances of his shows regularly. This was a reaction to his fan base, who made many illegal recordings of his concerts. By publishing them himself, he could maintain some quality of recording and profit from the material. This way, a large proportion of his work is available in live recordings, showing his strenght as a performer of his work, both solo and with band (a selection of wich is available on spotify).
