Martin Stirrup

Singer/songwriter

An old folkie who got back into it...

These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate.

Story behind the song

I'm not sure why the lyrics developed the way they did - the twist appeared spontaneously - but I like the result.

Lyrics

(¾ with drone)
 E A E
 Sweet Fanny Gibbons, she waits for me
 E B7
 Wearing no diamonds or pearls
 E A E
 With her hair tied in ribbons for all to see
 E B7 E
 That she is my best girl

She is so pretty, she is so fair
 That’s why my heart will abide
 No girl from the city could hope to compare
 To her as she walks by my side

---
 B A E
 And I always tell her one day we’ll be wed
 And I’ll realise all the dreams in my head
 E A E
 Forever and ever in our wedding bed
 E B7 E
 For she is my best girl

Every hour seems endless to me 
 Whether at work or at play
 That I’m not with her is all I can see
 All through the long dreary day 

instrumental

--
 as chorus
 There she is standing so perfect and tall
 Looking for me with her back to the wall
 As I emerge from my primary school
 For she is my best girl


Repeat first verse?
