Say what you will of my national antecedents & of Ewan's accents ~~ I heard him sing this song live at the Princess Louise many times: it always went down well & he was often singing it by request. Everybody laughed WITH it, not AT it, like some of the so-hard-to-please smartarses on this thread.

Compare his accent with his mother's on any of the several recordings of them singing together ~~ there are one or two on youTube: there was sod-all wrong with his Scottish accent, which he had from earliest years by inheritance and grew up with at home thruout his childhood.

E stands for Ewan, I suppose,
W for his dad Will;
And I don't care what anybody says,
But Jimmy was a Scotsman still.
