Subject: RE: Scottish musichall songs From: GUEST,Morag Date: 14 Nov 08 - 09:47 AM Does anyone have the words of "Kitty of Argyll"? It starts something like this: 'Twas in the year of '75 on March the somethinkth day Our gallant ship her anchor weighed And to sea she bore away. With a turrum adoo a turrum adoo, a turrum adoo a day. The Kitty of Argyll, me lads, to sea she bore away. There was Dougal Mor 'n' Donal' Mor, the captain and the mate And the captain gave us hullaballoo for breaking a sgadan plate. And going round the Brothers' Point it blowed a terrible blast. It blowed with such a hurricane it blowed away the mast. |

Subject: RE: Scottish musichall songs From: GUEST,Colin Dussault/Cleveland, Ohio Date: 21 Dec 08 - 09:52 PM I am a musician from Cleveland (www.colindussault.com) and my Grandfather's Uncle (I think that is right) might possibly have been the Phil Barker referred to in this post. I have many pieces of his sheet music and several of his Decca label 78's that came into my possession upon my Grandfathers' passing. I am very interested in learning more about your knowledge of Phil Barker and I will gladly share with you what I have here in my personal collection. Thank you in advance for your reply (should you get this). Colin Dussault |

Subject: RE: Scottish music-hall songs From: Tattie Bogle Date: 06 Feb 16 - 05:42 AM I was lucky enough to pick up an old copy of the Joe Gordon Album (songbook) in a second-hand bookshop, so here's a list of the songs and attributions, some of which have been mentioned above. (Note spelling as in the book too!) The whole book is copyright James S Kerr, Glasgow 1959 I realise they don't all fit the musichall remit.
