Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'Oh, dear me, the warld's ill-divided'
Subject: Does anybody know this song?
A song I only ever heard once, sometime in the mid80's.
Contained this (spot on) couplet: "Oh dear me,the world is poor divided,
them that works the hardest are ay the least provided."
Am fairly sure that it is a Glaswegian song & think it may be 19th Century.
Can any kind person lighten my darkness?
