Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: Jon Bartlett Date: 28 Apr 21 - 04:45 PM Here's a fifty-year old memory: When I first heard Imlach's "Cod Liver Oil" I had a hard time understanding what was being talked about. I got it that the hard man had taken Hairy Mary up the dunny for a quick one but the next line had me really confused: "Oot cam her mother, she was gaun tae the cludgie/Oh ho ho, a bucket of shardfish" A what? Was it something to do with the cludgie? Where did she get a bucket of shardfish from? And what did she do with it? I thought maybe it was German - "schardfisch", kinda like rollmops. Was it disinfectant? A replacement for toilet paper? It was only reading this thread that put me right and corrected my mondegreen. Jon Bartlett |

Shivers and shakes and various aches and likewise, dippedye dal, I never saw such a man before for taking chemical She wore the belt, whenever he felt, a pain in her did-il-dy push. A comical vest to save her chest the common-a or the cush She drank quinine and spirits and wine, to cure the didy pop Until she became- a what's the name - the travelling doctor's shop She used to wear a nose machine whenever she went to bed; She nailed her will to the window-sill in case they'd find her dead. She drank a blend of treacle purify her blood, Oh she never reached the bed in case perished in the mud. And when she called the dipped di dal, the poor old lad was dead Off they went, the doctor was sent for medicine to be taken The servant girl, she couldn’t spell, for she being in the boozelem, Shut her up and get her the stuff and now she’s in Jerusalem She wore the belt, whenever she felt, a pain in her did-il-dy push.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: GUEST,Iain Wallace Date: 22 May 12 - 05:40 PM As this thread has a long way to go before it gets its pension I'll add one obscure fact. In "VP and cider" the VP was indeed a cheap fortified wine. VP stands for "Vine Products" and was produced from imported grape juice concentrate. It was made in concrete tanks at Kingston on Thames, and could therefore call itself "British Wine". |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: Jim McLean Date: 19 Jan 11 - 06:07 AM Two different songs, obviously. "Cod Liver Oil" is a song about a traditional medicinal drink for many Newfoundlanders. Cod liver oil in the traditional way of manufacture was sun cured and served in bottles in its raw form. The song was written by Johnny Burke (1851-1930), a balladeer from St. John's, Newfoundland. It has been recorded by the Irish band The Dubliners and by Newfoundland folk rock Band Great Big Sea on their album The Hard and the Easy. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: GUEST Date: 19 Jan 11 - 01:55 AM http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/greatbigsea/codliveroil.html "Cod Liver Oil" I'm a young married man and I'm tired of life Ten years I've been wed to a pale sickly wife, She's nothing to do only sit there and cry Praying and praying to God she would die. A friend of my own came to see me one day He told me my wife she was pining away He afterwards told me that she would get strong If I get a bottle from dear Dr John. Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of my life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil. I bought her a bottle, well just for to try And the way that she drank it you'd think she might die I bought her another, it vanished the same And then she got cod liver oil on the brain. I bought her another, she drank it no doubt, And then she began to get terrible stout, And when she got stout well of course she got strong And I became jealous of dear Dr John. Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of my life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil. Me house it resembles a great doctor's shop Its covered in bottles from bottom to top Well early the morning the kettle does boil You would swear it was singing of cod liver oil. Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of my life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinking Oh doctor, oh doctor, oh dear Dr John Your cod liver oil is so pure and so strong I'm afraid of my life, I'll go down in the soil If me wife don't stop drinking your cod liver oil. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil - 'Hairy Mary' From: GUEST,Derek Date: 04 Mar 09 - 07:43 AM In Glasgow in the the 1960s a 'Hairy' had come to mean a working class female who was regarded as a likely respondent to sexual overtures. However, I understand that the origin is after the first world war when many more females were in the workforce. 'Hairies' were those working class girls who did not wear hats. There's a reference to this somewhere in 'No Mean City', which is much derided by Glasgow folk as unrepresentative, but was still pretty accurate when I was growing up in the Grobals during the late 50s and early 60s. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: GUEST,Derek, Edinburgh Date: 04 Mar 09 - 06:35 AM Dim memory of a Glasgow childhood in late 50's/early 60's Gorbals, mixed parentage and a Granny in Bridgeton gives me this: If you're feeling sad and lonley and your heart just skips a beat You'll get your f***ing head kicked in If you walk down James's Street [road linking Bridgeton Cross aka The Toll to the Gorbals, across the River Clyde at Glasgow Green] Take a walk into the Mermaid [famous Bridgeton pub for generations of Rangers supporters. Became the McKenzie, then the Bridgeton Bar, now derelict but still standing] And you'll hear a famous noise Get out you Fenian B***ards, We're the Brigton Billy Boys We're the Boys from the Toll We are loyal and we're true And if we meet some Fenians We are ready for a do To the cry of 'No Surrender' You will know us by our noise Good luck to the Glasgow Rangers And the Brigton Billy Boys Hello Hello we are the Billy Boys Hello Hello you'll know us by our noise We're up to our knees in Fenian blood Surrender or you'll die For we are the Brigton Billy Boys There's another fragment I can't fit in anywhere: For we chased the San Toi up the Gallowgate [road linking Glasgow Cross to the East end and not far from Bridgeton] For we are the Brigton Billy Boys This was being sung in full by Rangers suppoters until the late 1960s, but in the same way that the original Derry's Walls lyrics became doggerelised, so with this, which is reduced to the maximum offensiveness of the 'Billy Boys' chorus sung to the tune of Marching Through Georgia. Now for a bit of balance, can someone take on these two half-remembered songs from games at Celtic Park in the 1960s, and fill in the blanks? "And I'll stand in the van Like a loyal Irishman And stamp out the forces of the Crown" and the version of 'Off to Dublin in the Green' with this lyric: "We're off to Dublin In the Green, in the Green With our bayonets flashing in the sun And the bayonets clash with the Orange sash To the echo of the Thomson gun" |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: GUEST,Will Mathieson Date: 19 Aug 07 - 11:38 PM What a wonderful thread. I loved this song. I saw Hamish do this live at least a dozen times, when he and Matt McGinn were the leaders of the Glasgow Folk Music scene, heroes and role-models for aspiring would-be guitarists, singers and song-writers like Billy Connolly, my brother Alistair and myself. Hamish, usually obviously drunk, infectiously giggly with that fantastic filthy belly laugh, would ad-lib through his performances, so new details might enter the song from one gig to another. In the nearest alley to the gig Ali and I (about 15 and 16) would quickly guzzle a bottle of Lannie (LanLiq) and get in past the ticket desk and bouncers before the full effects hit us. We bought it at the 101 - an off-sales at 101 Union Street - like Kevin & Perry bluffing we were 18 and used to this all the time. It was nauseatingly foul stuff - but every schoolboy and alkie knew from the advert on the front page of every Glasgow evening newspaper it was the cheapest way of getting drunk. We would come home to Castlemilk on the last 37 (or 31) hot, flushed, laughing and re-singing as much as we could remember of this song. Nearly everyone present at these gigs would be intoxicated (folk over 18 could buy drinks at the intervals), we're all watching Hamish through a cloud of smoke (most of us chain-smoking) even more funky if we all arrived in wet raincoats! We all loved to roar along with any chorus. We thought we had our money's worth if we came away hoarse, blinded and stained by tears of laughter and with aching jaws. Hamish gave us our money's worth. He was the first before Billy Connolly to use foul language and openly cock a snoot at the system, or respectability. This song had everything: Glasgow's incestuous love of itself, a fantastic marching strum Hamish might have knocked off a Dave Van Ronk EP, locations, situations and local dialect familiar to everyone present, social comment (including a revelation of the inadequate Sexual Education being dished out to us then even in the finest schools like mine!) and it dealt with exactly the sort of issues my brother and I were wrestling with - getting drunk cheaply so one could survive the violent dangers of the dance-hall long enough to meet an equally drunk woman, ignore her ugliness long enough to get back to her close for a shag in the dark, then get off your mark before the horrible consequences caught up with you. I reckon the funniest humour is that which allows you to laugh at your own weaknesses and follies, so you can either overcome them or at least learn to live with them, realising all the other folk laughing have got the same problems. I actually remember Billy Connolly's first gig. He was introduced as a bluegrass banjo player to play between the sets of one of Scotland's leading Folk acts of the time (MacLellan Galleries, it might have been one of the Campbells, Ian. Josh or Alex?) After his first few songs he stopped to re-tune his guitar and admitted to us he was absolutely shitting himself with stage-fright. Then he started joking about how he was subconsciously picking his nose. From then on he never looked back, since he had Hamish's eye for the detail of Glaswegian life plus the latest fashionable Hippy 'Jesus' look. Imagine my surprise to find out, sorting through my late father's effects around the millennium, that back in the late 60s at what was probably a crucial point in both their careers, my Dad, a founding member of Glasgow's Dangerous Drugs Squad, busted Hamish for pot (marijuana, ganja, cannabis!) at a flat in Renfrew Street, near the Art School! Dad must have told him he was our idol and we had his LPs, as Hamish gave him a signed publicity photograph dedicated to us - which the Old Man never passed on or told us about! Ironic that years later Alistair and I became activists/campaigners for legalisation of marijuana, recognising amongs other things its part in the Social Revolution of the 60s, most notably through composing musicians. If I'm not mistaken (and I could be since some of these 40 year memories are a little vague now) there was a rather strong additional verse on this song that didn't make it to the record, for obvious reasons. The last verse described the offspring.... something like "...swinging a medallion, hairy chest and hung like a stallion"? Last word: it was commonly assumed by the 16-year-old Glasgow Cognoscenti that Mary's noticeable hirsuteness was in her nether regions. I seem to recall some other jokes in circulation about "Herry Mary" at the time. OK, final word: Brigton is Bridgeton, the notoriously violently Protestant area of Glasgow's East End (from which issued the Brigton Billy Boys armed gang to engage in street battle with their Catholic counterparts in the Gorbals). Refs: "No Mean City" and the song "Hello, Hello, we are the Billy Boys. Hello, Hello, you'll know us by our noise", etc. In my estimation, there is no need for a bus from Brigton to Denniston. It can't be more than half a mile, a short walk for a healthy young man! |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cod Liver Oil From: Dickmac Date: 03 Jun 07 - 07:34 AM My wife and I still sing this song having learned it from Hamish's singing in the 60's and 70's.We heard Hamish singing it live a number of times and we have it on vinyl. Like all songs of this nature there are various slight changes that still tell the same story. In the "cludgy" verse we sing "oot came her faither goin' tae the cludgy walkin' along like a constipated budgie" I don't know where that line came from but it wasn't Hamish. At the end of each chorus we add "ah juice,juice" The chords we use are simply Am and E7 repeated throughout and Em for the "juice juice" part. |

Subject: RE: Cod Liver Oil From: GUEST,derek Date: 24 Oct 02 - 03:52 PM Another very late post - did this really start in 1997? Fascinating to read all the old songs again - must go back home to Glasgow sometime and see if people still know what the hell they're all about. Many's the time I went home on the last 37 bus from Springburn to Castlemilk. The song about Derry and Cumbie and the later correction about the Norman Conks and San Toy ('Toi' by the 60's),reminded me of the full original version of the much more serious and provocative 'Billy Boys' from Bridgeton in the 30's and which my mixed Catholic/Protestant parents and grandparents, for their own reasons, would not discuss. First line 'If you're feeling sad and lonley and your heart just skips a beat.....' Anyone care to finish? |
