I was born and bred in Paisley until about 19 then I started 'travelling' although I did come back to Paisley a few times. My dad also sang the song and that's where we got it from. I suspect, as I said before, it really was a nonsense song. There was also a sayin by a local 'hairy' in greenock to an American sailor ' Ur ye affa yat?, which yat'r affa?
Cheers,
Jim
