davidkiddnet	Lyr Req: Where is the Glasgow That I Used to Know? (31)	RE: Lyr Req: Where is the Glasgow...?	07 May 04
I searched the database for "Jorrie", and up you came. I'm researching a song I heard in Edinburgh in 1986 that I think came from Glasgow. "Wee Johnnie's lost his jorrie/doon the stank/Doon the Broomie Law" The singer telt me that the JORRIE that fell through the grate and down the drain was a MARBLE [or taw]. Is this correct? Is a jorrie a marble? I also believe that "Doon the Broomie Law" describes a hill covered with the plant Scots broom, but is/was there an actual street named Broomie Law in Glasgow?
