Joe Kilna MacKenzie is a member of the band Clann an Drumma from Glasgow. The lyrics are on the band's website on this page. It contains the note "These lyrics are not to be used in any way, without the expressed written permission of Joseph Kilna MacKenzie." Therefore I have not copied the lyrics here, although I am not sure that it wouldn't be perfectly legal to do so.

The web site also contains some information about the author's great-grandfather, who was the inspiration for the song.
