Thread Name: Bruce and the spider
Subject: Bruce and the spider
Does anyone know the lyrics of "Bruce and the spider", a 78rpm record that I had as a boy, played on an old wind-up gramophone (ah, the old days!),singer Denny Dennis with the Sid Phillips band?

It started, as I remember, as follows:-
In days of old, the story's told, the Scots were mighty blue
Because the English beat them in a little fight or two.
The Scottish king was Robert Bruce, who had a mighty fall
Until he saw a spider a-climbing up a wall.
