Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: doon in the wee room From: Kenny B (inactive) Date: 01 Feb 02 - 03:25 PM Sorry for the typo error, should be McLaughlin, From Ewan McVicars book - Quin's bar was in Springburn originally, Daniel McLaughlin fiddle player and champion singer was the bard to Quin's bar, Dubiety of the tune came about when Ewan McVicar discussing was the song with John Eaglesham of the Mitchell Library. He had heard the song in a Laurel and Hardy film, The song was sung by a cowboy to the words 'Down in the forest underneath the trees' Could the tune could still have come from the Glasgow area? Stan Laurel started his career in the Glasgow Music Hall. |

Extra Verses by the McLaughlan Family
What a jolly party, Never better founf
Where do all the flies go, in the wintertime
King Solomon was a gay lad, he'd forty wives they say,
Columbus was a brave man, he sailed the ocean blue
