Thread Name: Lyr Req: Edinburgh songs
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Edinburgh songs
Anyone able to shed light on a song - maybe, only maybe, written and recorded by Harry Gordon, called something like "An Edinburgh Fancy"?   It had a chorus, the first three lines were...

Porty folk, Leith folk, Joppa and Dalkeith folk,
Folk frae Constitution Street and Azzawazzies (?) Pend -
Hayfield, Mayfield, Bruntisfield and Murrayfield...

My Mum threw our old 78 of it out a couple of years before she died in the 1980s.   My life has been empty ever since.
