Thread Name: Songs about city life
Subject: RE: Best 'city songs?'
The Dundee Weaver, otoh, is about the provincial woman coming to grief in Glasgow. Cf Jock Hawk's Adventures In Glasgow.

'Ralph McTell's Streets of London - great song about down and outs in London.' Agreed ~~ but never understood why he had to sing it in an approximation of a Bronx accent. I asked him once, but he genuinely didn't seem to know what I meant!
