Hey Girl (Them)

9 MARCH 1966

Another song from the great Northern Irish band Them and their sadly uncharting second album, 'Them Again'.

This is a slower song called ‘Hey Girl’, which really gives a taste of things to come for singer Van Morrison (who wrote this one), with a lilting, pastoral sound would become his sound, especially on albums such as Astral Weeks. He would soon be embarking on his long-lasting solo career.

'Let's go walking where the boats go by

And watch them sail across the bay

Let me hold your hand in the morning fog

Little child I want to walk your dog

Hey, hey girl

Hey, hey girl

You're so young

I don't know what to do

And let's go walking up that mountain slope

And look down on the city down below

I will make a fool of you

Hey, hey girl

Hey,hey girl

You're so young

You make me lose my mind'
