I remember, [A] I played St.
Padley's Day one time in Glasgow, they're a great time over there, you know.
And, er, walking up the most famous street in Glasgow, Soggy Hall Street, back in 1969.
I remember seeing two guys [Dm] walking up in front of me, one for the, kind of [A] the banjo, the other for the, beautiful, like, kind of the guitar.
[F] And went into, he walked into a pub and they walked in after [A] him.
And they was off to have a drink with the barman.
And I said to the barman, who are these [D] two guys over there?
He said, that fella you see with the hair and he said, and the beard, with the banjo, [G] that's Billy Connolly, he says.
And the man, the man with the guitar, that's Gerry Rafferty.
So after a while I went over to the lads and Billy said, [Bb] are you just over?
I said, I am.
Come over to St.
[G] Padley's Day.
