The Humblebums - Please Sing A Song For Us

Copied!

Walk in, sit down, open up your case
Tune up, and turn ‘round to show your face to the crowd
Sing a song in a genuine bluegrass voice
About your big Dixie Darling, the banjo that's always in tune

Please sing a song for us, play your guitar
There isn't one of us care who you are
But if the sound is good, you won't go wrong
Please sing a song for us and we will sing along (so long)

Stand up, stretch out to take the hand
Of a girl called Rosie who thought your performance was cool
Tune in, turn on, stop dead in your tracks
At a voice softly singing about some fool on a hill

Please sing a song for us, play your guitar
There isn't one of us care who you are
And if the sound is good, you won't go wrong
Please sing a song for us and we will sing along (so long)

The Humblebums were a Scottish folk group that originated in Glasgow in the mid 1960s. The band was formed by two talented musicians, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty. The duo quickly gained a following in the local music scene with their unique blend of folk, blues, and comedy.

Billy Connolly, known for his comedic talent and charismatic stage presence, provided the group with humorous lyrics and entertaining banter during their performances. Gerry Rafferty, on the other hand, brought his exceptional songwriting skills and musical prowess to the table, creating a dynamic musical partnership that captivated audiences.

The Humblebums released several albums during their time together, including "First Collection of Merry Melodies" and "The New Humblebums." Despite their success as a duo, Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty eventually decided to pursue separate musical paths.

Both Connolly and Rafferty went on to achieve further fame and success in their respective solo careers. Billy Connolly became a household name as a comedian and actor, while Gerry Rafferty found international acclaim with hit songs like "Baker Street" and "Stuck in the Middle with You."

Although The Humblebums may have been short-lived, their influence in the Scottish folk music scene and the lasting impact of their individual careers continue to be felt to this day. The duo's legacy lives on through their timeless music and the enduring talents of Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty.
