lyrics

Where are you big man?
Where have you gone?
We miss your dirty stories
We miss your sacred songs

But the last time I ever hugged you
There seemed far less of you to hold
The one thing left of the giant you were
Was your wild gypsy soul

In exile from the kingdom of Fife
Always on the wanderer's road
On constant psychotic overdrive
More than human for every show

The last time I ever hugged you
There seemed far less of you to hold
The one thing left of the giant you were
Was your crazy acid soul

Stomping your foot on a board
And plucking and pulling on the strings
Of Doc Watson's battered old Gallagher
As your voice gave your poems their wings

The last time I ever hugged you
There seemed far less of you to hold
The one thing left of the giant you were
Was your eternal warrior soul

Are you deep in some secret forest
With a hundred grieving men
Or in some lonely dressing room
With triple vodkas for your friends

The last time I ever hugged you
There seemed far less of you to hold
The one thing left of the giant you were
Was your beautiful shining soul

Play it again for Sir Larry
Jamming good with Nick and Tony
The first round of drinks are on Scots John
And we'll all be joining you before too long

The last time I ever hugged you
There seemed far less of you to hold
The one thing left of the giant you were
Was your Celtic hard man soul

Where are you big man?
Where have your gone?
We miss your dirty stories
We miss your sacred songs
