Hi, Tried lots of searches for these lyrics but nothing coming up,
the aleander Bros, had it out in the 60's or seventies.
the chorus is something like this;
she's the lass o leven vale
she's the lass o leven vale,
lovely lass o leven valley,
she's the lass o leven vale.

Any help would be appreciated,(maybe it goes under another name?)
thanks....Haggisbasher

Dundee singer Dennis Clancy also recorded the song in a pretty decent Scottish tenor version..recently reissued. Dating back to a time when they had good production values on Decca and Pye, using actual musicians.   It is formally MCPS/PRS registered as a co-write of Ian Gourlay and Ross Crawford, published by Kerrs Music Ltd.   Nice to see it correctly credited with the current video here.   Too often these re-issues have incorrect or missing details.
