Hi,

What about another Belfast favourite... (tune "in and out the windows, as we have gone before... I'm sure this has another name but I can't remember it.)Used to be a favourite on the bus for many a school outing..... picture this sung by 50 Belfast kids with strong Belfast accents.........

Wee Willie's lost his his marley
Wee Willie's lost his his marley
Wee Willie's lost his his marley
Down by the (insert road name with 2 syllables depending on area you live in...)Antrim /Grosvenor /Shankill Road.

(A marley..... is a marble)

He lost it down a grating ........

so he went and got a big stick........

and he rammed it down the grating.......

but he couldn't get his marley..........

so he went and got a wee dog........

and he tied it to the big stick.......

and he rammed it down the grating.....

but he couldn't get his marley......

so he went and got his brother.....

and he rammed him down the grating...

but he couldn't get his marley......

so he went and got some dynamite....

and he rammed it down the grating.....

and he blew up all the houses.........

but he couldn't get his marley.......

Wee Willie's very stupid...........

Wee Willie's found his marley.......

It was in his trouser pocket.........

P.S. looking forward to that info Dan....... I think we have a lot of the Scottish ones in common..... I certainly remember my mum and dad singing "Ally Bally Bee" (in the database as "Coulter's candy",)to me as a small child. Heard Crooked Jack sing it last year when they were out here in Oz......... brought a tear to my eye..... lots of happy memories.
