'The Jeely Piece Song' (sometimes titled, by the writer himself, as The Height Starvation Song) was actually written by Adam McNaughtan, who also wrote 'The Yellow on the Broom' as well as 'Hamlet', 'Cholesterol' and 'Thomas Muir of Huntershill' amongst many others. He is adept at taking traditional tunes and altering them slightly to suit the new text.
Don't know if his Piece song is to ' Maggie Cockabendie', but will ask him.
