Hi

It was Glasgow, and written by Billy Connolly, he sang it at the end of each episode of his world tour of Scotland.

Enjoy


I WISH I WAS IN GLASGOW
Billy Connolly

Oh I wish I was in Glasgow
With some good old friends of mine
Some good old rough companions
And some good old smooth red wine
We could talk about the old days
And the old town's sad decline
And drink to the boys on the road

Oh I was born in Glasgow
Near the center of the town
I would take you there and show you
But they've torn the building down
And when I think about it
It always makes me frown
They bulldozed it all to make a road

And that great old place I miss so much
Has seen much better days
And still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Oh but Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

And that great old place I miss so much
Has seen much better days
And still we talk about it
As we go our separate ways
Oh but Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road

My granny was a cleaner
My granddad drove a tram
My father an engineer
Made me all I am
They have seen the city come and go
Still they give a damn
There's so much to learn along the road

And Glasgow gave me more
Than it ever took away
And prepared me for life on the road
