GLASGOW DAN (Gordon Menzies) His name was Glasgow Dan he was the old melodeon man He sang his songs of peace and justice all across the land He sang both rich and bold with a voice of liquid gold Bringing happiness and teardrops to the eyes of young and old Glasgow Dan the music man Singing songs and making music of his country He was born in Glasgow town with the shipyards all around He gained his education from the gutter and the ground But he listened and he cried with the music of the Clyde Of the cockers and the platers and the turning of the tide Glasgow Dan the music man Singing songs and making music of his country He was seventeen years old when he first took to the road With a battered old melodeon and the sunlight for his load For forty years or more he tramped from shore to shore Singing songs and making music of the country and its lore Glasgow Dan the music man Singing songs and making music of his country He wandered up and down singing songs from town to town At markets and at fairgrounds in places of renown And all he'd ever seek was a bed and a bite to eat The crack beside the ingo and the dram before he'd sleep Glasgow Dan the music man Singing songs and making music of his country He missed the mighty Boer and the Kaiser's bloody war Then in thirty-nine they drafted him far from his native shore When next he saw the Clyde there was shrapnel in his side And his song were filled with sadness for the countless men who died Glasgow Dan the music man Singing songs and making music of his country His name was Glasgow Dan he was the old melodeon man But his heart was surely broken by the cruelties of man So with winters cloak around he just lay down on the ground Since he died his old melodeon hasn't made another sound Glasgow Dan the music man Singing songs and making music of his country (www.theballadeersscotland.com) |
