GUEST,Gerry in Vancouver, BC Lyr Req: Song of the Clyde (28) RE: LYR:?Dear Old Donegal/Song of the Clyde 17 May 00


I have been searching for the Lyrics to the "Song of the Clyde" for several years, and have finally stubled upon them here. Thanks, Teru!

I think I heard the Alexander Brothers sing it when I was much younger, but the song was brought back to mind during a family trip to Scotland about four years ago. We were travelling from Tarbert, Argyll, to Largs on board the sidewheel steamer "Waverley". Forward, on the lower deck, this vessel had a bar; at the foremost part of this area, a small band was playing the "Song of the Clyde". As we chunked our way through the beatiful estuary of the Clyde River, it was one of those occasions when the music (even though not really "folk") seemed to fit the moment perfectly.

Now, my next hurdle is that I remember the tune for the chorus, but I'm not so sure about the verse. Does anyone know where it can be found?
