Edit for headphones, April 2022. A song from the 2021 album "John Sebastian And Arlen Roth – Explore The Spoonful Songbook" (Renew Records – 538693322).
The original release first appeared on the November 1965 album "Do You Believe In Magic". "Younger Girl" missed the Hot 100 in the US, but it was a hit for "The Critters" in mid-1966, got to #38 in the UK. "The Hondells" in 1966 made it up to #42 in the US Hot 100. The song is basically "Prison Wall Blues" (1930) by Cannon's Jug Stompers, with a few lyrical changes.

YOUNGER GIRL
(John Sebastian)
she's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
one look in her eyes and you forget everything
you had ready to say
and I saw her today, yeah
a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
no matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
said, she'd never been in trouble, even in town
a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
no matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave her memory behind
a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
and should I hang around, acting like her brother
in a few more years, they'd call us right for each other
and why, if I wait I'll just die, yeah
A younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
No matter how much I try
I can't seem to leave her memory behind
I remember her eyes, soft dark and brown
said, she'd never been in trouble, even in town
a younger girl keeps a-rollin' 'cross my mind
she's one of those girls who seems to come in the spring
one look in her eyes and you forget everything
you had ready to say...
