Ewan McVicar	Lyr Req: Keltie Clippie (John Watt) (36)	RE: Lyr Req: John Watt's Keltie Clippie	27 Aug 99
How oft have I heard this song sung - ah, as in the title of another current Mudcat thread I have become a very old Scottish singer. I expect to see John Watt tomorrow at the Ceres Festival, where he and Jack Beck are to be leading singing sessions. I have to ask him about this. In the liner notes for John Watt's 1976 album it sayeth, "The tune is an adaptation of the well known Scots song 'Maggie Cockabendie'." This is not the same as the song "Cockabendy had a coo", which went to the tune 'Cawdor Fair', also known as '4 and 20 Blackbirds'. I've never before heard of the well-known 'Maggie Cockabendie'. Ring any bells with anyone else?
