No, I mean Johnny Moat. Davy Steele recorded it on his tape "Summerlee". Neither he nor Colin Ramage gave any indication of who wrote the words or the music. It's a song about a rock called Johnny Moat. As long as the rock was standing the town near it prospered. When the rock fell the town went downhill. The chorus goes "Keep standin, keep standin, the toonfolk all cried. Keep standin along the Forth shore. For while ye are standin, the toon of ---------- will praise Johnny Moat evermore." I can't quite understand the name of the town or some of the other words in the song and would like very much to find them. A big thank you to anyone who can help.
