[JohnStField]

ummm yea it's called 'single father'

I was a single father

those were real harsh times

i remember losing my baby

Every time i hear a church bell chime

I was a single father

but i just can't complain

got a heart full of headstones

as i step down from the train

Makes sense, yes?

[MoNoHair]

Makes sense all right,thnx for the correction. sorry for the slip up, I'm no too familiar with Jackie's songs.

MoNoHair.

One of the best songwriters of our U.K, met the man in 1999 R.I P Brother, may be next time we'll form the band that will make the Universe cry and rock supremely.Respect.

Still brings tear to my eyes and a lump to my throat no matter how often I hear this song. Is there anyone who merges soulful lyrics, a voice of such sensitivity and the guitar so beautifully. Farewell peerless troubador. x

[Eastcoastpreacher]

One of his best songs.

R.I.P. Soul Brother :-(

I love the way his lyrics pull you in from the first verse:

"If we should meet in Glasgow on a rainy day... twisted spires and lonely byres...and fishing boats in winter spray...winter spray..."

Excellent songwriting (and performance!).

saw Jackie in Essen on Sept 18, brilliant as ever
