I am sure someone else will wake up soon and come in here with the lyrics for you. In the meantime, I did find this nice tribute to Glasgow when he apparently passed away last December. Maybe someone will be interested in reading it? All the best and welcome to the Mudcat! kat |

She's leaving today, Willie, she's sailing away. Do you recall, Willie, the steel wind cutting off the river Do you recall, Willie, the birth plans at the water's edge Will they ever know, Willie, the life hours welded on the river Is it any more, Willie, than just so much wages underneath the bridge. And come tomorrow, Willie, when the peeping-Toms have canned the final picture And come tomorrow, Willie, when the cocktail-party faces stiffen hard And come tomorrow, Willie, the same wind will whistle off the river And come tomorrow, Willie, I'll see you seven-thirty in the yard.

13 May 02 - 04:13 PM (#710440) Subject: RE: lyric all in a day From: Raggytash I could do with some clarification of lyrics here, I've always sung "do you recall Willie, the burr plants at the water edge" not "birth plants" Working on the basis that a burr is the edge of a weld. I'd like to know which is correct, does anyone have a definative answer |

13 May 02 - 04:18 PM (#710441) Subject: RE: lyric all in a day From: MMario well it could well be "burr plants" as in burdock or cocklebur |

27 May 02 - 03:25 PM (#718268) Subject: RE: lyric all in a day From: GUEST,Jennifer, Cambridge I heard Marie Little sing this one at Wheaton Aston FF last weekend! I think it might be 'burr plants' - meaning burdock...but then I'm a gardener, so I would think that, wouldn't I? |

27 May 02 - 03:29 PM (#718274) Subject: RE: lyric all in a day From: DMcG It is a song about ship-building on the Tyne. The words are: "...The berth plans at the water's edge" The whole suite is "The Tyne Slides By" and was written for a television programme and is the B side of the LP "Close the Coal-House Door" |

27 May 02 - 03:49 PM (#718285) Subject: RE: lyric all in a day From: DMcG By the way, my answer comes from the lyrics that were enclosed with the LP, so it is as definitive as we are likely to get. If anyone wants any more of the lyrics let me know. The whole suite is a 'framing song' (The Tyne slides by) and then
Paradise Flats and the LP is just called "Songs of Alex Glasgow". "Close the Coalhouse Door" is the A side, not the name of the LP. Sorry to mave misled you, folks. |
