[Chorus]
GThe whole of the river sang, Benny has been D7Benny has been, BGenny has been
Down in the city that never was mean
D7We all sang, Benny has Gbeen [Verse 1] GUp from the heart of the Gorbals he rose D7Don't tramp on his toes for everyGone knows
From then on when we see the bend in your nose
D7We'll all sing, Benny has Gbeen [Chorus] GThe whole of the river sang, Benny has been D7Benny has been, BGenny has been
Down in the city that never was mean
D7We all sang, Benny has Gbeen [Verse 2] GDown to the shows Benny went as a youth D7To fight in the booth, GI'll tell you the truth
Many's the big man was short of a tooth
D7As he sang, Young Benny Ghas been [Chorus] GThe whole of the river sang, Benny has been D7Benny has been, BGenny has been
Down in the city that never was mean
D7We all sang, Benny has Gbeen [Verse 3] GTo Manchester City young Benny went down D7To fight Jackie Brown, he Gpicked up the crown
He came back in triumph to old Glasgow town
D7And the city sang, Benny has Gbeen [Chorus] GThe whole of the river sang, Benny has been D7Benny has been, BGenny has been
Down in the city that never was mean
D7We all sang, Benny has Gbeen [Verse 4] GHe beat Small Montana, he floored Peter Kane D7Sent him back to train, then Gdowned him again
The lynch-pin of boxing inflicted more pain
D7And the city sang, Benny has Gbeen [Chorus] GThe whole of the river sang, Benny has been D7Benny has been, BGenny has been
Down in the city that never was mean
D7We all sang, Benny has Gbeen [Verse 5] GThe city had T.B., the city had booze D7Her victims she'd choose, and Gsend out the news
That Benny would win and then Benny would lose
D7And the city sang, Benny has Gbeen [Chorus] GThe whole of the river sang, Benny has been D7Benny has been, BGenny has been
Down in the city that never was mean
D7We all sang, Benny has Gbeen
