Richard Thompson - Jennie

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Oh, trouble becomes you, it cuts you down to my size
And you never were less than perfect in my eyes
But I lost my way somehow
For three hard winters I held it in—till now

{Refrain}
Now I can't help it
Oh Jennie, my love
Oh Jennie, my love

{Verse 2}
Now you pin up your hair like you did when first we met
Oh, how many days of his life can a man regret?
And if my tears were a train
Then I'd cry all the way back into your arms again

{Refrain}
Now I can't help it
Oh Jennie, my love
Oh Jennie, my love

{Guitar Solo}

{Verse 3}
Now I count thе times we had and the timеs we missed
Now I stand here love unsworn and lips unkissed
And you don't know how hard I tried
To kill the vision of you as another man's bride

{Refrain}
Now I can't help it
Oh Jennie, my love
Oh Jennie, my love
Oh Jennie, my love
Oh Jennie, my love

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).
