Subject: RE: Scottish musichall songs
Dick please excuse me,but the old memory isn't what it used to be.
I'll give you another verse of Piper McFarlane,But i'll need to put on my thinking cap for the others.On reflection, the song title may have been "The bonnie wee lassie frae Gourock".
Gourock is a small town on the Clyde coast, not far from where I live,but my Uncle who was a singer always referred to it as "Piper Mcfarlane".

2nd verse   "I treated her handsomely,just like a swell,
             Took her roond tae the back o' a first class hotel;
             Stuck her nose in a windae tae smell the nice smell,
             She ne'er smelt a smell like it in Gourock.

Chor       Oh shes a bonnie wee beautiful thing ect ect.
