Curmudgeon here.
Robin and Jimmie also performed with Leon Rosselson and Shirley Bland as The Galliards. I have one album by this mix along with Twa Heids..

Robin and Jimmie were special in that they were able to use fine musicianship without damaging the roots of the songs.
And for John C...

He's fitba crazy, he's gaen clean mad,
The fitba's robbed him o' the wee bit sense he had.
It'd tak a washerwoman his claes tae rub an' scrub
since our Jock becam a member o' that awfu fitba club.

The first match he went tae play, I went tae see mysel
They'd twa half bricks for the goal posts and a tin can for the ba.
The Prince o' Wales was there himsel wi a his ladies fair
When oor Jock ran oot an kicked the ba right up intae the air.
Repeat first verse.
