London Apprentice
Ralph McTell

D G D
I am a London apprentice, for I never will learn a trade

G D Em A
The best that I can hope for, is from mistakes I've made

D G D
A man who never made any, he never meant nothing at all

G D Em A
So Christopher Wren had to start again, when he built St. Paul’s

I am a London apprentice, for I never will learn her ways

When I walk the streets of London, I am constantly amazed

How a road I never was on before, leads to one and all

As any cabbie will tell you, that’s how all knowledge grows

I am a London apprentice, and I love the muddy Thames

Pushing his way through the city, just to come back again

Through plague and conflagration, and when the bombers came

A symbol of a nation, St. Paul amongst the flames

I am a London Apprentice and I’ll accept the status quo

But a cockney must be born, within the silent spells of beau

And London’s been a refuge, by accident or plan

So ask me who’s a Londoner, I’ll answer every man

I am a London apprentice, but one thing I know for sure

I’ll tell you very bluntly with these words you can’t ignore

Remember Doctor Johnson, who’s wit cut like a knife

When a man is tired of London, a man is tired of life

I am a London apprentice, for I never will learn a trade

The best that I can hope for, is from mistakes I’ve made

A man who never made any, he never meant nothing at all
