Subject: Tune Req: The Glasgow Barrowland traditional scots
Hi, i am looking for a scottish cd compilation with the song "The Glasgow Barrowlands" on it sung by either Eddi Reader or another. or even any other compilation it may be on. I know there is one out ther, i just cant find the title. It is a very funny song and holds special memories for me! Can anyone help me please????
Kindest Regards.
Oh, it was at the Glasgow Barrowlands, he asked me for a dance. I knew he was a fly man but I had to take a chance. The mirror ball was sparkling. The band played 'The Last Waltz'. And after the dance was over, he asked to take me home.
CHORUS: Dup dar di di de rah loolah, etc
Oh, it was at the Glasgow Barrowlands, into his arms I fell. He promised me silks and satins, and a diamond ring as well. I got no silks and satins. I got no diamond ring. All I got was a cradle for to rock the baby in! CHORUS
Now listen, all you good girls, and take a tip from me: Never let a chancer, an inch above yer knee!
