Hi Pete,

OK so I admit it you made me cry, my parents (especially my English and very proud to be so) father loved listening to Andy Stewart and as a child I was dragged to many a show of his. My fathers favourite was A Scottish Soldier and my mothers coming from Cambuslang was I Belong to Glasgow.

Thank you, you brought it all back,
regards,
Audrey

I Belong to Glasgow
This song was written by the music hall entertainer Will Fyfe (1885-1947),
reputedly after helping a drunk who said "The way I feel tonight is that Glasgow belongs to me."

I've been wi' a few o' ma cronies,
One or two pals o' ma own.we went in a hotel,
where we did very well,
then we came out once again.

Then we went into another,
And that is the reason I'm fou,
We had six deoch an' dorises, then sang a chorus,
Just listen, I'll sing it to you.

Chorus:
I belong to Glasgow dear old Glasgow town!
But what's the matter wi' Glasgow
For it's going round and round.
I'm only a common old working chap,
As anyone here can see,
But when I have a couple of drinks
on a Saturday,
Glasgow belongs to me. (repeat )

There's nothing in keepin’ your money,
And saving a shillin’ or two;
If you've nothin’ to spend,
Then you've nothin’ to lend,
Why that's all the better for you;
There no harm in taking a drappie,
It ends all your trouble and strife;
It gives ye the feeling that when you get home,
You don't give a hang for the wife! CHORUS

Hi Pete,

No still the same songs, by the way Jimmy Shand was also a favourite of my parents.

Hi Pete,

Fantastic it worked this morning, tried all day yesterday and could not get it to work, gremlins in the machine perhaps, thank you so much.
