There is another thread, live at the moment discussing Coulter's Candy. Another song I don't see further up the thread is Westering Home. When I was a boy in the early 60s. Every New Year the Glasgow Weekly News (the Wee Kelly) published a 4-page spread with all of these songs so that families could have a sing-song. We all used to visit both sets of Grandparents on New Year's Day and at my Mum's parents would sit all round the flat with my cousins and sing our way through endless rounds of "party pieces". My Grampa's party piece was "The Star of Rabbie Burns".
