Hillheader	Lyr Req: Black Velvet Band (variations) (29)	Lyr Add: BLACK VELVET BAND (from Hamish Imlach)	12 Aug 03
Hamish Imlach did a version which went--- In neat little city called Glasgow To Barrowland I was bound It was there that I met Hairy Mary Who flogged for half a crown Her eyes they shone like diamonds The Queen of the Barrowland And chest it hund low over her shoulder Held up by a big Navvies hand. (The Barrowland was an (infamous) Glasgow Dance hall of the 50's/60's) If my memory holds up, Hamish did it as the intro to Cod Liver Oil & Orange Juice. Mike The Corries also covered your version under the title Abigail On the bosom of young Abigail Was written the price of her tale And on her behind, for the use of the blind Was the same information in braille.
