David McWilliams - When I Was A Dancer lyrics

When I was a dancer I was King of every town All the ladies followed me around When I was a dancer I had friends, a man can tell Why was no-one there to catch me when I fell? Travelled the cities in style Playin' well heeled Stood with the chorus line Waitin' my deal Do you know how it feels, my friends? Do you know how it feels? But when I was a dancer I was King of every town All the ladies followed me around

When I was a dancer I had friends, a man can tell Why was no-one there to catch me when I fell? Now I paint the scenery And I load the trains Take out the costumes Always the same Newports again my friend Look at the rain But when I was a dancer I was King of every town All the ladies followed me around When I was a dancer I had friends, a man can tell Why was no-one there to catch me when I fell?
