Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Edinburgh songs
The rest of this song is about Glasgow, but this verse is about Embra...

"Edinburgh's east, and Glasgow is west,
Is Edinburgh better? Is Glasgow best?
If ever I'm asked how to tell them apart
I say: One has a castle,
The other, a heart

Home again, home again
Jiggety-jig
For yer Tattoo and Festival, I don't gie a fig.
Ye can keep yer auld Castle
I don't gie a toss.
I'll take salt and vinegar.
No' salt and sauce."


Note: in Embra chipshops for some reason, they offer you salt and sauce, rather than salt and vinegar.
