Julience - Bad Penny (Official Lyric Video) (Rory Gallagher Cover)

Details

Description

This song, written by Rory Gallagher, has been a long-time favorite of mine.
I'm excited I finally got to cover it. It's my homage to one of the guitar greats.

William Rory Gallagher (1948 – 1995) was an Irish guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer.
Due to his virtuosic playing, but relative lack of fame compared to some others, he has been referred to as "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of", and strongly influenced other guitarists such as Brian May and Eric Clapton.

I think Rory Gallagher is criminally underrated.
Please check out his original material.

Bad Penny

Well, like a bad penny you turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell
Well, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell

Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, and your smile's sure gone cold
Well, it can't ever be like it was then
Well, don't you fool with me baby
Don't you mess with my plans.

Some stormy nights, I hear you calling
Won't you go away
Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change

Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame
I think you know I'm still sore, but I'm on the mend
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again
Well, like a bad penny spins around and around

Well, you won't know what's gone wrong till it all falls down
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games
You ought to keep on moving baby, you got to spin on your way

Some lonely nights, your memory haunts me
Won't you go away?

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell

Well, you double-dealed me, baby, and I cracked like a shell
