[Intro]
[Verse]
London Danny you re a real bad penny
You re the one man that time has taught me I should fear
For the girl you left behind, she has said that she ll be mine
So why d ya have to come and show your face round here
[Chorus]
For she always said that time would make it right
And now I often wake, to hear her sighing in the night
And don t think I don t know, if you asked her, then she d go
Now please, don t try and take her from me, London Danny
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Well, I ve learned to listen for your name round town
When people talk of your success in city life
But I can never tell if she hears them talk as well
And rues the day she ever was a poor man s wife
[Chorus]
And we always said that time would make it right
And now I often wake, to hear her sighing in the night
And don t think I don t know, if you asked her, then she d go
Now please, don t try and take her from me, London Danny
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Well, my hands are black, while yours are clean and clever
And there s ways you know to turn her pretty head
Well, its all that I can do, when my working day is through
To let her heart beat me to sleep at night in bed
[Chorus]
And we always said that time would make it right
And now I often wake, to hear her sighing in the night
And don t think I don t know, if you asked her, then she d go
Now please, don t try and take her from me, London Danny
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
London Danny you re a real bad penny
You re the one man that time has taught me I should fear
For the girl you left behind, she has said that she ll be mine
So why d ya have to come and show your face round here
[Chorus]
For she always said that time would make it right
And now I often wake, to hear her crying in the night
Don t think I don t know, if you asked her, then she d go
Now please, don t try and take her from me, London Danny
