Fiona Scottish music-hall songs (58* d) Lyr Add: THE GLASGOW BARROWLANDS 25 Jan 04


Thank you Malcolm, I should have looked properly myself!

Jim, I have Eddi Reader singing 'The Glasgow Barrowlands' on a compilation LP of Glasgow artists. It's credited Trad arr Eddi Reader/Ricky Ross.


THE GLASGOW BARROWLANDS

Oh, it was at the Glasgow Barrowlands, he asked me for a dance.
I knew he was a fly man but I had to take a chance.
The mirror ball was sparkling. The band played 'The Last Waltz'.
And after the dance was over, he asked to take me home.

CHORUS: Dup dar di di de rah loolah, etc

Oh, it was at the Glasgow Barrowlands, into his arms I fell.
He promised me silks and satins, and a diamond ring as well.
I got no silks and satins. I got no diamond ring.
All I got was a cradle for to rock the baby in! CHORUS

Now listen, all you good girls, and take a tip from me:
Never let a chancer, an inch above yer knee!


Fiona
